Kay Whitmore

The Hartford Whalers drafted Kay Whitmore while he was still a Peterborough Pete in 1985.  Finally becoming the Whaler’s starter in 1991, Whitmore was traded to Vancouver the following season where he became Kirk MacLean’s backup.  The two both played well and were a major reason for Canucks’ success in the early-to-mid 90’s.  In 1995, Whitmore became a difficult journey through a variety of teams’ minor-league affiliates: New York, Edmonton, Boston and Calgary all used him in a limited fashion.  After only 5 NHL games in seven seasons, Whitmore retired in 2002.  He served as an assistant coach with the Petes for two seasons before signing a contract with German team Nuernberg in 2004.
