A veteran of 1,157 Games in the National Hockey League, Eric Weinrich provided solid defense for several 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.
