Biography

Tavares launched a new chapter in his NHL career on July 1, 2018, when he signed a seven-year, $77 million contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs, the team that the native of Mississauga, Ontario, grew up rooting for.

The Maple Leafs got a player who had become one of the NHL's top stars during nine seasons with the New York Islanders, who selected him with the No. 1 pick in the 2009 NHL Draft. He had NHL career highs in goals (47) and points (88) in his first season with the Maple Leafs and was named Toronto's captain on Oct. 2, 2019.

Given his route to the NHL, Tavares' success was no surprise. At 14 he was granted exceptional player status by the Ontario Hockey League, allowing him to be eligible for the OHL Draft. He was selected with the No. 1 pick by Oshawa in 2005.

Tavares stepped right into the Oshawa lineup as a 15-year-old and had 45 goals and 77 points to win OHL and Canadian Hockey League Rookie of the Year honors. In his second season, he had 72 goals and 134 points, then had seven goals and 19 points in nine playoff games. He was named Most Outstanding Player in the OHL and Player of the Year in the CHL, which includes all three junior leagues in Canada. He also broke Wayne Gretzky's OHL record for most goals in a season by a 16-year-old (Gretzky had 70).

Tavares' transition to the NHL was smooth; he had 24 goals and 54 points in 2009-10 to finish fifth in voting for the Calder Trophy, awarded to the NHL's top rookie, and was named to the All-Rookie Team. Among NHL rookies he was tied for first in goals, second in points and third in assists (30).

His offensive talent, drive and willingness to play in all areas of the ice make the ultra-competitive Tavares a franchise center. On Sept. 9, 2013, he was named the 14th captain in Islanders history.

In Game 6 of the Eastern Conference First Round in 2016, Tavares had the game-tying goal in the final minute of the third period, then scored in double overtime to win the series against the Florida Panthers. The Islanders advanced to the second round for the first time since 1993. Tavares became the first player in Islanders playoff history to score the tying goal in the final minute of regulation and score again in overtime.
