Alex Burrows

Alexandre Ménard-Burrows is a Canadian professional ice hockey coach and former player who is the assistant coach for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League. Playing as left winger he spent the majority of his career in the National Hockey League (NHL), playing for the Vancouver Canucks and Ottawa Senators. He was known for playing in the style of an agitator before developing into a skilled, top line fixture. He is also regarded for his remarkable ascension to the NHL from being an undrafted player in the ECHL. After a two-year career in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), he played in the minor leagues for three seasons. He was signed by the Vancouver Canucks in 2005 from their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Manitoba Moose. Burrows established himself as a checking forward with the Canucks in his first three NHL seasons before emerging as a scorer with four consecutive 25-plus-goal seasons from 2008–09 to 2011–12.
