gold star for USAHOF

Andrej Sekara

Andrej Sekara

Andrej Sekara enjoyed a long career in the NHL, with the first half appearing as a Buffalo Sabre, but he had greater success with other teams after he left Western New York.

The Defenceman was traded to Carolina in 2013, and he had his best season offensively with a personal best of 44 Points.  After a brief stay in Los Angeles, Sekara had back-to-back 30-plus Point years, but injuries kept him from having an entire season again, and he spent his last four years in a veteran role on lower pairings as a Dallas Star. 

A very clean player, Sekara only had 212 Penalty Minutes over a 15-year career but only received Lady Byng votes once. Sekara only appeared in the playoffs four times but did succeed in other tournaments, namely as a member of Team Europe in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
