Thomas Steen played his entire National Hockey League career with the Winnipeg Jets, where he may not have been known outside small-market Winnipeg and his home country of Sweden, but he was a player who was vastly underrated, selfless, and thus invaluable to the Jets, who never let him go. Beyond his work with the Jets, Steen played internationally for Sweden at three Canada Cups and was a two-time Silver Medalist at the World Championship. Steen’s #25 would be retired by the Jets in 1995.
