Bobby Holik played for the Hartford Whalers for the first two seasons of his NHL career, but a trade to the New Jersey Devils in the Summer of 1992 would place him on the team where he would have the most productive period of his life.

Known for his seriousness, discipline, and overall toughness, Bobby Holik came from Czechoslovakia to the National Hockey League, where, after two seasons with the Hartford Whalers, he found a real home with the New Jersey Devils.  Holik would play for the Devils for 10 straight seasons, scoring 463 Points over that period, including three consecutive 60 Point campaigns from 1996-97 to 1998-99.  In that later season (98-99), Holik started a streak of five straight seasons earning votes for the Frank J. Selke Trophy, a testament to his two-way ability.  With the New Jersey Devils, he helped the team win two Stanley Cups (1995 & 2000), and he was himself a two-time All-Star.
