TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
BRIAN SUTTER

Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who led the way to the NHL for what is generally considered the hardest working family in hockey history.

Brian Sutter is the oldest of six brothers who played in the NHL together between the 1970s and 1990s.

Though the Sutters generally performed pretty well on the scoresheet (Brian and Brent in particular), they are universally revered for the tireless work ethic and study of the game that allowed them to convert their adequate but not phenomenal talents into impressive NHL careers.

As is often the case with players who make it to the big leagues on the strength of their dedication, grit and training, the Sutters have transitioned well into coaching and managing at the NHL level, a charge that was also led by elder brother Brian.

Brian Sutter played 12 NHL seasons, all with the St. Louis Blues, and served as the team captain (from 1979 to 1988) and led his squad in scoring at times. He scored career-highs of 46 goals in 1982-83 and 83 points in 1983-84.

When he took off his skates for the final time, he had compiled 636 points in 779 games for the Blues, played in three All-Star Games, and he had made a contribution that saw his jersey #11 raised to the rafters in St. Louis.

He would go on to become one of the best coaches in the NHL, winning the Jack Adams Award as coach of the year in 1990-91.

Between 1988 and 2004, Brian Sutter coached 1,028 NHL games, earning a record of 451-417-140-20.
