Gilbert Jean Marco Brulé[1] (born January 1, 1987) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre currently with the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL). Drafted out of the Western Hockey League (WHL), Brulé played major junior with the Vancouver Giants for three seasons. After being named the WHL rookie of the year in 2004, Brulé was selected as the WHL playoff MVP and led the Memorial Cup in scoring, as part of the Giants' WHL championship-winning season two years later. Selected sixth overall in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, he began his NHL career with the Columbus Blue Jackets before being traded to the Oilers prior to the 2008–09 season. Internationally, Brulé has represented Team Canada at the 2004 World U-17 Hockey Challenge and 2004 U-18 Junior World Cup, winning silver and gold medals, respectively.

Playing career[]

Early junior career[]

Brulé was selected first overall in the 2002 WHL Bantam Draft by the Vancouver Giants. The selection was originally possessed by the Prince Albert Raiders, but was dealt to the Giants in exchange for their third overall and third round selections.[2] He debuted in one game with the Giants during the subsequent WHL season, while playing Junior A[notes 1] in the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) with the Quesnel Millionaires. Recording 57 points (32 goals and 25 assists) over 48 games in his lone BCHL season, he was named the Interior Conference's recipient of the Bruce Allison Memorial Trophy as rookie of the year.[3]

He became the first Giants player to win a major WHL award,[4] receiving the Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy as league rookie of the year.[5] The distinction made him a nominee for Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Rookie of the Year,[6] which went to Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) rookie of the year Sidney Crosby of the Rimouski Oceanic.[7] He joined Crosby on the CHL All-Rookie Team.[8]

The following season, Brulé finished third in WHL scoring with 87 points (39 goals and 48 assists),[9] establishing a Giants single-season point-scoring record (surpassed by Casey Pierro-Zabotel in 2008–09).[10] During the campaign, he was chosen to a squad of WHL All-Stars against the Russian select team in the 2004 ADT Canada-Russia Challenge in November.[11] Several months later, he competed in the 2005 CHL Top Prospects Game, where he recorded the first hat trick in the history of the all-star match and was named Team Cherry's player of the game.[12] At the end of the season, Brulé was named the CHL Scholastic Player of the Year, having taken more high school credits than any other WHL player.[13]

NHL debut and Memorial Cup tournament[]

Brulé was selected sixth overall in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the Columbus Blue Jackets. He remained the highest-drafted Giants player in team history until Evander Kane was selected fourth overall in 2009.[14] Brulé had been the second-ranked prospect behind Crosby by the International Scouting Services (ISS) at the beginning of the 2004–05 season,[15] while the NHL Central Scouting Bureau (CSB) named him the WHL's top prospect in their preliminary rankings.[16] By the end of the season, Brulé was ranked fourth overall by the ISS and fifth among North American skaters by the CSB.[17][18] At the time of his draft, he was touted as an offensively skilled player with a competitive and physical edge.[19] The ISS scouted him as an "outstanding skater with great vision on the ice...a natural goalscorer."[19]

Brulé made the Blue Jackets' lineup in his first NHL training camp and signed with the club to a three-year, entry-level contract on October 3, 2005.[20] He made his NHL debut against the Washington Capitals in the Blue Jackets' season opener two days later, notching an assist on a goal by Dan Fritsche in a 3–1 loss.[21] The following game, he suffered a fractured sternum after receiving a hit from Calgary Flames defenceman Roman Hamrlík on October 7.[22] After missing 17 games, he returned to the lineup on November 20.[5] Brulé scored his first NHL career goal that night against Phoenix Coyotes, his team's lone tally in a 5–1 loss, beating goaltender David LeNeveu with a shot from the left offensive zone faceoff circle.[23] Ten days later, he suffered his second injury in as many months, breaking his leg during a game against the Minnesota Wild.[24]

Upon recovering, he was returned to the WHL on January 13, 2006.[25] By re-assigning Brulé before he played 10 NHL games, the Blue Jackets retained the first year of his rookie contract.[26] Another strong factor in the decision to return him to junior was the acquisition of centre Sergei Fedorov, making Brulé expendable.[27] Returning to the Giants, Brulé scored at a near-goal-a-game pace. He was named WHL Player of the Week on February 20, 2006, after recording 5 goals and 10 points in 3 Giants wins.[28] He was later chosen as WHL Player of the Month for February with 12 goals and 23 points in 13 games.[29] Completing the season with 23 goals and 38 points in 27 games, he earned WHL Second All-Star Team honours.[5] In the opening round of the WHL playoffs, Brulé was named WHL and CHL Player of the Week by scoring four goals and seven points over three games against the Prince George Cougars.[30] He received his second WHL and CHL Player of the Week honour during the WHL Finals against the Moose Jaw Warriors on May 10, having accumulated five goals and nine points in two games.[31] His award-winning week included a three-goal, four-point performance in Game 1 of the series – a 7–5 win for the Giants.[31] He went on to lead the WHL in scoring with 30 points in 18 games to earn the airBC Trophy as playoff MVP, helping the Giants to their first President's Cup as WHL champions.[32]

Advancing to the 2006 Memorial Cup,[notes 2] the Giants tied for third out of four teams after the round-robin. Requiring a tie-breaker game to determine who would play in the semi-final, Brulé recorded five points (two goals, three assists) against the Peterborough Petes, one point short of the tournament single-game record, in a 6–0 win.[33] The Giants were subsequently eliminated in the semi-final by the Moncton Wildcats 3–1.[34] Brulé registered the only Giants goal in the game.[34] Finishing with 12 points in 5 games, Brulé earned the Ed Chynoweth Trophy as the national tournament's leading scorer. He was also named to the Memorial Cup All-Star Team,[5] alongside Giants teammate Paul Albers.[35]

Gilbert Brule Giants Ring of Honour

Four-and-a-half years after his junior career, the club honoured him in a ceremony prior to a game against the Kamloops Blazers on January 28, 2011, as part of "Gilbert Brulé Night". Brulé was the fourth alumnus added to the club's Ring of Honour, commemorating the team's best players; a plaque was unveiled inside the stadium bearing his name and the number 17 he wore on his jersey as a Giant.[36] At the end of the Giants' 2010–11 WHL season, they released their fan-voted "Top 10 Giants of the Decade", which listed Brulé at #2, behind Milan Lucic.[37]

Columbus Blue Jackets[]

Still eligible for junior, Brulé made the Blue Jackets' roster for the 2006–07 season. A month into the campaign, he was assured by general manager Doug MacLean that he would not be returned to the Giants as he had been the previous season.[38] He was scratched several times under head coach Gerard Gallant, but after Gallant was replaced by Ken Hitchcock in late-November, he began receiving more playing time.[39] Playing mostly on the fourth line in his rookie season,[40] he averaged 10 minutes of ice time per game.[41] He went on to tally 19 points (9 goals and 10 assists) over 78 games in his first full NHL season.

During his second NHL season, Brulé recorded 9 points (1 goal and 8 assists) over 61 games with the Blue Jackets. He was sent down to the American Hockey League (AHL) in January 2008 for a month-long assignment as his play struggled,[42][5] notching 5 goals and 10 points in 16 games with the Blue Jackets' minor league affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch. At the end of the Blue Jackets' regular season, Brulé was re-assigned to Syracuse for the club's Calder Cup playoff run. Helping the Crunch advance to the second round, he recorded 2 goals and 5 points over 13 post-season games.

Edmonton Oilers[]

In the 2008 off-season, Brulé was traded to the Edmonton Oilers for forward Raffi Torres on July 1, 2008.[43] He was one of the final cuts in his first training camp with the Oilers and was assigned to the Springfield Falcons, Edmonton's AHL affiliate.[5] On October 17, 2008, he suffered a knee-on-knee hit from opposing defenceman Adam McQuaid during a game against the Providence Bruins, causing him to miss several contests injured.[44] During a call-up to the NHL later in the season, Brulé scored his first goal with the Oilers on January 11, 2009, in a 2–1 win against the St. Louis Blues.[45] He was re-assigned to Springfield 10 days later.[5] Finishing the season with 3 points in 11 games with the Oilers and 24 points in 39 games with the Falcons, he was re-signed by Edmonton in the off-season to a one-year, two-way contract on August 12, 2009.[46]

Brulé began the 2009–10 season as the Oilers' fourth-line centre out of training camp.[47] With improved play and the injury of first-line winger Ales Hemsky,[48][49] Brulé moved up the Oilers' depth chart and recorded his best statistical season in the NHL. However, after suffering from a recurring flu throughout the campaign, which sidelined him for a combined 11 games,[5] he suffered a high-ankle sprain during a game against the Dallas Stars on April 2, 2010; following a collision with opposing forward Brian Sutherby, his skate got jammed underneath goaltender Kari Lehtonen's pad. The injury sidelined him for the remaining week of the campaign.[50] He finished the season with a career-high 17 goals, 20 assists and 37 points in 65 games, third in team-scoring.[51] Becoming a restricted free agent in the 2010 off-season, Brulé filed for arbitration with the Oilers after failing to come to terms on a new contract. The two sides managed to avoid their arbitration hearing by signing a two-year, $3.7 million deal on July 27, 2010.[52]

After staying healthy through the first three months of the 2010–11 season, Brulé suffered continued injury problems for the rest of the campaign. After being sidelined with a stomach virus for four games, he suffered an abdominal injury the following month and missed 23 additional contests.[5][53] After returning to the lineup, he sustained a concussion during a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 13, 2011.[54] In total, Brulé missed 39 games with injuries in 2010–11, limiting him to 7 goals and 2 assists.

On June 24, 2011, it was reported that Brulé had been traded along with a fourth-round draft pick to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for forward Ryan Smyth.[55] Due to health concerns, the deal never officially materialized as Brulé had not yet been cleared to play following his concussion (under league rules, an injured player can be traded but cannot be bought out which is what the Kings had planned on doing). Furthermore, Kings general manager Dean Lombardi made it apparent to the media that the team wanted someone with a smaller salary cap hit.[56] The Oilers ultimately acquired Smyth in exchange for forward Colin Fraser and a seventh-round pick in the 2012 draft.[57].

On October 2, 2011, Brulé was placed on waivers with the purpose of being assigned with the Oklahoma City Barons.[58]

Brulé made his international debut with Hockey Canada representing Team Pacific at the 2004 World U17 Hockey Challenge in Newfoundland. During the semi-final, he scored a goal and three assists, leading Team Pacific to a win against the United States. His efforts earned him his third player of the game award of the tournament.[59] In the gold medal game, Team Pacific lost to Team Ontario 5–2, earning silver. Later that year, he represented Team Canada in the 2004 U18 Junior World Cup as an alternate captain. Brulé helped lead Team Canada to gold, scoring the game winning goal in the championship match, a 4–1 win against the Czech Republic.[60]

The following year, Brulé participated in the Canadian national junior team's summer development camp in preparation for the 2006 World Junior Championships.[61] At the time of the final roster selection in December 2005, however, Brulé was recovering from a leg injury, suffered during NHL play with the Blue Jackets.[5] He was invited to the team's summer camp again in 2006, but declined, choosing to focus instead on making the roster for Columbus.[62]

Personal life[]

Brulé was born in Edmonton, Alberta, later moving to North Vancouver, British Columbia, during his childhood. He had a sister named Leah who passed away at the age of 12 from cerebral palsy. Brulé was nine years old at the time of his sister's death and later had her name tattooed on his left wrist.[63] Despite growing up in both Edmonton and Vancouver, Brulé was a childhood fan of the Los Angeles Kings.[64]

In May 2010, Brulé donated $10,000 to a fund assisting an Edmonton boy suffering from lymphatic cystic hydroma. The money was allocated to a costly surgery to be performed in New York, which doctors in Canada were unable to perform.[65] Brulé received further media attention a year later for picking up a pair of hitchhikers who turned out to be U2 frontman Bono and his assistant in a West Vancouver neighbourhood on May 31, 2011. In return, Brulé was given backstage passes for him, as well as his girlfriend and mother, for U2's concert in Edmonton on the next day. During the show, Bono thanked Brulé for the ride.[66]
