    • Wickenheiser was rated by The Hockey News as the top draft prospect in and was subsequently selected first overall by the Montreal Canadiens. Many Canadiens' fans, particularly French Canadian fans who desperately wanted the club to select francophone star Denis Savard, were unhappy with the selection (Savard would go on to play for the Canadiens after being traded to the team, winning the Stanley Cup with them in ), and Montreal media attention soon turned negative.

    While Wickenheiser struggled to adjust to the NHL game, Savard (drafted third overall) would quickly become a superstar with the Chicago Blackhawks, further angering some Montreal fans.

    In his fourth season with the Canadiens, the club lost patience with Wickenheiser's slow development and traded him to the St. Louis Blues. Probably his most famous moment with the Blues was during the –86 playoffs in a game dubbed the "Monday Night Miracle" on May 12, , when after St.

    Louis made a large comeback against the Calgary Flames, and he scored the overtime winner to force a Game 7 in the Campbell Conference Finals.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The Blues would however, lose the deciding game 2–1.[10]

    During his NHL career, Wickenheiser also played for the Vancouver Canucks, New York Rangers and Washington Capitals, but did not play in the NHL after the season, spending his last four professional seasons in the minors and overseas.

    In games, he scored goals and assists.

    Cancer

    In August , Wickenheiser had an epithelioid sarcoma (a rare form of cancer),[11] which he had first noticed four years earlier, removed from his wrist. Three years later, in October , the disease came back as lung cancer, at which point it was inoperable, then it got worse a year later when he was diagnosed with brain cancer.[12][13] Sadly, he died on January 12, , at the age of 37 in St.

    Louis.[14][15][16][17][18] His life story was remembered in the book The Last Face Off: The Doug Wickenheiser Story written in March by Ted Pepple, Wickenheiser's father-in-law.[2][19][20] The Mid-States Club Hockey Association, the governing body for high school hockey in St.

    Louis, named their championship trophy for small school/second division teams in his honor.

    Legacy

    An arena in his hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan, has been named Doug Wickenheiser Arena in his honour. The arena is located at the corner of Arnason St. and Rochdale Blvd.

    The Doug Wickenheiser Memorial Trophy which is awarded annually by the Western Hockey League to its humanitarian of the year was renamed in in honour of Wickenheiser.

    The Blues have not reissued Wickenheiser's #14 since his death, though it has not been formally retired. Blues' players wore a special helmet decal with the wick of a candle and the number 14 during parts of the –98 and –99 seasons.

    In , a banner with that logo, which became the symbol of The Fourteen Fund, the official Blues charity established in his memory, was permanently placed in the rafters at the Blues' home arena, the Kiel Center (now the Enterprise Center). The emblem was worn by all NHL players in the NHL All-Star Game, and was also sold to the public for a small donation and became a popular trend among youth hockey players in St.

    Louis. One of the two high school state championships played at Enterprise Center is named after him.
