Tom Fitzgerald is one of the most popular and richest Hockey Coach who was born on August 28, 1968 in Melrose, Melrose, United States. NHL coach and former player who won a Stanley Cup as an assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2009. As a player he spent 17 seasons in the league with teams like the Colorado Avalanche and Chicago Blackhawks.
He coached Penguins centre Jordan Staal to a Stanley Cup in 2009.
Fitzgerald played his high school hockey at Austin Preparatory School in Reading, Massachusetts, he then went on to play college hockey for Providence College and was selected by the New York Islanders of the NHL in the 1986 NHL Entry Draft (1st round, 17th overall). He turned pro in 1988 with the Islanders’ American Hockey League affiliate Springfield Indians, and in 1990 was one of the key players who led Indians to the Calder Cup championship.
He played parts of five seasons for the Islanders and became the first player in NHL playoff history to score two shorthanded goals on the same minor penalty, against the Pittsburgh Penguins on May 2, 1993, which also equaled the NHL record for shorthanded goals by a player in one game. He was selected as one of the original Florida Panthers in the 1993 NHL Expansion Draft. Although he has been cast as a defensive forward in the NHL, he had his best scoring years in Miami and was one of the leaders in Florida’s 1996 Stanley Cup run. In those 1995–96 playoffs, Fitzgerald scored the decisive goal in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins. It was a 58-foot slapshot that found its way past Penguins goaltender Tom Barrasso.
His cousin is professional hockey player Kevin Hayes.
