Pat Verbeek starred for five NHL teams (the New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, Hartford Whalers, Detriot Red Wings and Dallas Stars) over the course of his twenty-year playing career and amassed over 1400 points and 522 goals. He is well-remembered for his feisty play and relentless hustle. Verbeek is also the only player in NHL history to total over 500 career goals and 2500 career penalty minutes. "Not many players come along with the combination of skill and toughness that Pat had," said one-time Stars teammate Brett Hull. "And both of those qualities paled in comparison to his heart and determination." At the conclusion of his playing career, he became a color analyst for television broadcasts of the Red Wings. He currently serves as a professional scout for the Red Wings.
