Who is Bruce Driver?

Bruce Douglas Driver is a former professional ice hockey defenceman who played 15 seasons in the National Hockey League from 1983–84 until 1997–98.

A natural leader, Driver served as Devils' captain and also became a power play quarterback as his career blossomed, registering many of his goals and points with the man advantage. He won the 1995 Stanley Cup as a member of the Devils, before moving on to the New York Rangers the following season.

Driver was drafted in the 6th round by the then Colorado Rockies in the 1981 NHL Entry Draft.
