He had 92 blocked shots and averaged 17:04 of ice time per game.<\/p>\n<p>Selected by the New York Islanders in the second round (No. 53) of the 2008 NHL Draft, Hamonic has 242 points (53 goals, 189 assists) in 900 regular-season games for the Islanders, Calgary Flames, Vancouver Canucks and Senators and four points (one goal, three assists) in 22 Stanley Cup Playoff games.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s maybe something that I&#8217;ll appreciate when I&#8217;m a little bit older, to know that I played 15 years and 900 games,&#8221; Hamonic said after the season. &#8220;And that is, I guess, a lot. I just try to be grateful for it all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think every guy, even when they&#8217;re retired, 70-years-old, wants to play, right? So, I think the hunger inside of a player to play is always there. You always want to play, that&#8217;s the thing. But we&#8217;ll cross that bridge when we get there. The motivation still burns deeply.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travis Hamonic signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Detroit Red Wings on Friday.
