Ottawa Senators centre Derick Brassard set to play 1,000th game with 10 different franchises over 16-year career
There was a time last summer when Derick Brassard contemplated retirement. But the Ottawa Senators centre didn’t act on the thought.
“I’m proud to make it this far. I’ve dealt with surgeries; I went through a lockout and there was COVID, so I’m proud that I lasted this long and can still come to the rink every day and do what I love.” “I was so nervous,” he said. “I don’t even remember if I had a rookie lap or not. I just remember I had to have Marc Methot often order for me when we went out because my English still wasn’t very good back then and I was kind of embarrassed to speak in restaurants and stuff.
Throughout his career, Brassard had the opportunity to play with some incredible players, including Rick Nash, Sergei Fedorov, Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid. However, one moment stands out most to Brassard.
