A veteran of 1,157 Games in the National Hockey League, Eric Weinrich provided solid defense for a number of clubs and was also a constant on the U.S. National Team. Weinrich was an above-average blueliner who brought steadiness to every team he played for. While he was never flashy or considered an All Star, his long tenure in both the National Hockey League and internationally for the U.S. gives him a career worth celebrating, though more likely as a member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.
