Brad May (born November 29, 1971 in Toronto,
Ontario), is a ice hockey left winger currently
playing for the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey
League. He played his rep minor hockey in Markham,
Ontario.
May is known more for his enforcing skills, rather
than his scoring touch. May is also noted as being a
"solid leader in the dressing room."
Brad May was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres 14th
overall in the first round of the 1990 NHL Entry
Draft. May is famous for scoring a series clinching
goal in the 1993 Adams Division semifinals against
the Boston Bruins in game four, which is when
broadcaster Rick Jeanneret made the famous "May
Day!" call.
May was subsequently traded by the Sabres to the
Vancouver Canucks for forward Geoff Sanderson on
February 4, 1998.
On August 20th, 2005, May signed with the Colorado
Avalanche as an unrestricted free agent for two
years. He was later traded on February 27th, 2007 to
the Anaheim Ducks for goaltender Michael Wall. The
Ducks went on to win the Stanley Cup that year, and
May would have his name engraved on the Cup for the
first time in his career.
It was also with the Ducks that May would play his
900th career NHL game. During that game, he scored
his 125th career goal, as the Ducks beat the Kings
that night.
