Michael John Sillinger, a Canadian ex-professional ice hockey player, was born June 29, 1971. He played 17 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL). Sillinger was a player for 12 different NHL teams, and was traded nine more times. The latter two records are tied with Brent Ashton’s.

Sillinger was a Canadian international representative, winning a gold medal in the 1991 World Junior Championships, and being the captain of his country at 2000 World Championships.

Sillinger remained in Anaheim the next season, but was immediately traded the following campaign in 1995-96 to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Roman Oksiuta on March 15, 1996. He played one full season with the Canucks in 1996-97, managing 37 points, before being dealt away to the Philadelphia Flyers midway through the 1997-98 season for a fifth-round selection in 1998 on February 5, 1998.

Sillinger’s stint with the Flyers began promising, scoring 22 points in the 27 games to close the season following his trade, but after managing just three assists in the first 25 games in 1998–99, he was dealt away to the Tampa Bay Lightning midway through the campaign along with Chris Gratton, in exchange for Mikael Renberg and Daymond Langkow on December 12, 1998. Sillinger, however, continued to struggle and tallied just 10 points with his new team for the remainder of the campaign for a combined 13 points between the Flyers and Lightning, a career-low.

After his 1990-91 Pats season, Sillinger was called up by the Red Wings to make his NHL debut. He scored an assist in the final three games. Sillinger also played in three playoff games that season with Detroit, also scoring one assist. In 1991-92, Sillinger played his rookie season in professional hockey in the American Hockey League (AHL). He was a member of Detroit’s minor league affiliate, Adirondack Red Wings. There, he scored at a high-point-per game pace, scoring 66 points in 64 games. Sillinger was called up to play eight games in Detroit’s playoff run. However, he still managed to score 28 points in 15 playoff games and win the Calder Cup championship with Adirondack.
