On
this site I am going to tell you all about my favorite hockey player. Boyd Devereaux who once played for Edmonton, Detroit,
Phoenix and now Toronto. When Boyd was traded to the Wings back in 2000 I fell in love with his style of play. He is
a great talent and young too. It also helps that he is such alittle hottie. Boyd who is known by his team mates as Floyd
is a tough guy. He over came a severe concussion in April of 1999 playing for Edmonton where doctors told the forward at age
22 that his hockey career might be over. He kept his head held high and never thought the worst. In July of 2000 after getting
a second opinion he was cleared by doctors in Montreal from then on he knew he had a second chance. Weeks later the Detroit
Red Wings picked up his contract. In 2004 Devereaux went to play for the Phoenix Coyotes when the Red Wings did not
pick up his contract. After his season with Phoenix and after a year off from the lock out Boyd decided to try out again for
the Red Wings. He did great at trainging camp but the Wings decided to go in a different directions. Boyd ended up getting
picked up by the Toronto Maple Leafs farm team, The Toronto Marlies. After playing well for them the Maple Leafs called him
up and once again Boyd is living his childhood dream and playing for an NHL team.
I have been a fan of the Red Wings for sometime now.
All the players I seem to pick always get traded. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this one is here to say. Being young
Boyd has a lot to show for himself. I will keep everyone updated on his year and for the rest of his career. Thanks have fun
on my site and check back offen cause I will get more pictures up soon.
Well as my luck has it Boyd was traded in 2004 Boyd signed with the Phoenix Coyotes
and now he is with the Toronto Maple Leafs after playing for the Coyotes for a year. GOOD LUCK BOYD!
Hope to see you again one of these days!
Latest Update:
I got an email from a gentleman who writes for the National
Post in Toronto his name is Michael Traikos. He did a little interview with me on my loyality and fanship to Boyd Devereaux.
It also opened my eyes that I have been slacking on this website. I have been a fan of Boyd's for years and just because he
isnt a Wing anymore doesnt mean a thing. I need to get my butt into gear and get this web site back up to date. So thats my
plan is to update it in the next few days. :)
