Who is Mike McEwen?
Michael Todd McEwen is a retired Canadian ice hockey player. He was born in Hornepayne, Ontario.
An offensive-minded defenseman, McEwen was selected by the New York Rangers in the 1976 NHL Draft. His talents immediately paid dividends as he helped guide the Rangers to the finals in 1979. His tenure with the Rangers would not last long as he was traded to the Colorado Rockies in the giant trade that sent Barry Beck to New York.
His stay with the Rockies was short-lived as he would frequently clash with head coach Don Cherry, and he was eventually traded to the New York Islanders in the deal that sent Steve Tambellini and Chico Resch to the Rockies. The trade would soon payoff for the Islanders as his offensive talents helped them in three of their Stanley Cup championships 1981, 1982, 1983.
McEwen would also play for the Los Angeles Kings, Washington Capitals. Detroit Red Wings and Hartford Whalers before his NHL career ended following the 1987–88 season.
McEwen was the first coach of the Oklahoma City Blazers. He coached the Oklahoma City Blazers to three consecutive playoff appearances in 1992-93, 1993–94, and 1994–95.
McEwen currently resides in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
