Christopher Robert Pronger (born October 10, 1974 in Dryden, Ontario, Canada) is a professional hockey player for the Anaheim Ducks. He has received many awards during his career in the NHL, and is considered one of the top defensemen in the league due to his offensive and defensive skills.

Playing career


After two outstanding seasons with the Peterborough Petes of the OHL, Pronger was selected second overall by the Hartford Whalers in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft. He made his debut in the 1993-94 NHL season, playing 81 games for the Whalers and earning a spot on the NHL All-Rookie Team. However, Pronger was arrested for drunk driving, involved in a barroom brawl, and was considered by some to be immature and awkward. After a second season in Hartford, he was traded to the St. Louis Blues for star forward Brendan Shanahan on July 27, 1995.

In the early years of his St. Louis career, Pronger played under coach and general manager Mike Keenan. Keenan's guidance is often cited as a factor in Pronger's maturation.
