His career tally of 1,281 points was second all-time at the time of his retirement. Delvecchio was also considered a great leader, a skillful player and a man who had complete devotion to his sport and teammates. He is also a three time Stanley Cup winner, a three time winner of the Lady Byng Trophy and a thirteen time All Star Game participant.
