Former NHL enforcer Donald Brashear finds new job outside of hockey
Former National Hockey League enforcer Donald Brashear has found a new job outside of the sport.
Donald Brashear returned to hockey last season after a seven-year absence as he signed with the Jonquiere Marquis in LNAH, a semi-professional league based in Quebec.
After 24 games with the Marquis where he registered eight points (two goals, six assists) and 45 penalty minutes, Brashear decided to hang up the skates once again and took on an assistant coaching role with a new LNAH expansion team in Quebec City this season. But that won't be the only job he has
In a social media post on Thursday morning, Ste-Foy Nissan, which is based in Quebec City, announced that Donald Brashear has joined their dealership in the sales department with the title 'sales consultant'.
Note: the following was translated from French.
"We are extremely pleased to welcome Donald Brashear to our sales team!
At Ste-Foy Nissan, we know that the strength of a team is based on perseverance, tenacity and experience - values that Donald embodies wonderfully.
After a career in the NHL, Donald today brings this team spirit and this desire to always go further to Ste-Foy Nissan.
🏒 His journey is an example of resilience, and we are convinced that he will be able to support you with as much determination as he has always done on the ice. Welcome to the team, Donald! 👏"
The 52-year-old Brashear spent parts of 16 seasons in the National Hockey League with the Montreal Canadiens, Vancouver Canucks, Philadelphia Flyers, Washington Capitals and New York Rangers where he had 205 points (85 goals, 120 assists) and 2,634 penalty minutes in 1,025 games.
