Bradley Scott May (born November 29, 1971) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who played in the National Hockey League (NHL). In the 2006–07 season he won the Stanley Cup as a member of the Anaheim Ducks. He currently works as an NHL analyst with AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain. May was born in Toronto, Ontario, but grew up in Markham, Ontario.
Playing career
May was drafted by the
Here's May coming in on goal, he shoots, he scoooooores! Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Brad May! Wins it in overtime! Buffalo sweeps the Bruins!
May was later traded by the Sabres to the Vancouver Canucks for forward Geoff Sanderson on February 5, 1998.[1]
After sitting out during the
On July 4, 2007, May re-signed as a free agent with Anaheim for another two years.
During the 2008–09 season on January 7, 2009, May was traded from the Ducks to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a conditional 6th round draft pick in 2010.[7] On April 8, 2009, May played in his 1,000th career NHL game against the Buffalo Sabres.[8] It was no coincidence that the milestone came against the Buffalo Sabres, as he was purposely sat out for the previous game.[9]
On September 23, 2009, May was invited to try out for the Detroit Red Wings, reuniting temporarily with former Vancouver teammates Todd Bertuzzi and Dan Cloutier. May made his Red Wings debut in a pre-season game on September 25, 2009.[10] At the start of the 2009–10 season on October 8, 2009, May then signed a one-year contract with the Red Wings.[11] After posting 2 assists in 40 games with Red Wings May was put on waiver to clear roster room for Andreas Lilja on February 12, 2010.[12] After clearing waivers and briefly contemplating possible retirement[13] May decided to report to Wings AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins, to play out the season.[14] In an expanded role with the Griffins May scored 10 points in 17 games before he was returned to Detroit as a part of the extended squad for the playoffs.[15]
Post-playing career and broadcasting
On September 20, 2010, without an offer of a new contract, May effectively announced his retirement in accepting a position as a CBC American Hockey League analyst.[16] Following the retirement of longtime Buffalo Sabres analyst Mike Robitaille after the 2013-14 season, May joined the Sabres broadcast crew on a limited basis before moving into Robitaille's slot in a full-time role for the NHL 2014-15 season.[17][18] May was replaced on Sabres broadcasts by Martin Biron following the 2016-2017 season.[19] Beginning with the 2017-2018 season, May serves as an analyst for the Vegas Golden Knights with AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain.
Incidents
Phoenix Coyotes
As a member of the
In 2002, May was arrested after assaulting a police officer and disorderly conduct at a nightclub in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was consequently sued by the police officer and in December 2005, was ordered to pay damages from a civil jury.[21]
Steve Moore
May was also noted for allegedly putting the bounty on the head of the Colorado Avalanche's Steve Moore that ultimately resulted in the Todd Bertuzzi incident that essentially ended Moore's career.[22] May was named in a lawsuit filed by Moore, but unable to prove if May did in fact put out a bounty on Moore, charges were later dropped in Colorado as the case was moved to a Canadian court.[23][24]

May was suspended for three games in the
