Where are they now? Mike McPhee

The following article featuring former Rensselaer standout Mike McPhee appeared February 20 on the Montreal Canadiens Web site.

 

The Canadiens didn't pile up 100 years of history without the blood, sweat and tears of the over 750 players to have ever worn the uniform. From the likes of Donald Audette to Zarley Zalapski, there are former Habs scattered all over the world. Although many hardcore Canadiens fans can rattle off the career accomplishments of hundreds of their old heroes, the question remains: what are these guys up to today? Today's guest: Mike McPhee.
A gritty left winger who spent nine seasons with the Canadiens from 1983-84 to 1991-92, McPhee helped lead the Habs to the Stanley Cup in 1986. The Sydney, NS native who represented the Habs at the 1989 NHL All-Star Game has been a busy man since retiring from the game following the 1993-94 season. Find out for yourself!

Where do you live now?
I live just outside of Halifax.  I stayed in Dallas for a bit after I retired and then came back here in 1996.

What are you doing now?
I'm an investment advisor with National Bank Financial here in Halifax. I've been doing it for 11 years now; I offer advice to individuals on insurance and investments. I went back to school in Dallas and got my MBA.  I had wanted to get into business and I just took the natural route.
