Following his playing career, he took over as the head coach and general manager of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. However, after using a racial slur referencing team captain Trevor Daley, he resigned. Vanbiesbrouck worked as a broadcaster and in hockey-related businesses. In 2013, Vanbiesbrouck was named the general manager of the Muskegon Lumberjacks in the Tier I junior United States Hockey League (USHL). In 2018, he was hired by USA Hockey as the assistant executive director of hockey operations and would be involved with selecting players for the US national teams.[2] In late 2021 Vanbiesbrouck was named general manager of the U.S. Olympics Men's hockey team.[3]
Early life
Vanbiesbrouck was born in Detroit, Michigan, the youngest of three boys born to a Belgian immigrant bricklayer, Robert Vanbiesbrouck, and an Italian immigrant, Sara.[4][5] He grew up with two older brothers; the oldest, Frank, who was also a goaltender in youth hockey, inspired Vanbiesbrouck to play goaltender.[4] John later noted that he learned more about goaltending just from watching Frank than any coaching could, adding that no one ever helped him more to become the player he was.[6]
Playing career
Junior and minor leagues
While playing
On December 5, 1981, just months after being drafted, Vanbiesbrouck made his professional debut with the Rangers as an emergency call-up.[8] He helped defeat the Colorado Rockies 2–1. Despite only allowing one goal and earning his first NHL win, the Rangers decided to return him to Sault Ste. Marie, a move intended to aid his development.[9] He finished the year with a 12–12–2 record for the Greyhounds and made his first international appearance, representing the United States at the 1982 World Junior Championships.[10] He played one more season for the Greyhounds, playing 62 games winning 39 of them[10] and being named to OHL second All-Star team.[11]
Following his career with the Greyhounds, Vanbiesbrouck moved on to the
New York Rangers
Vanbiesbrouck made the Rangers full-time in the 1984–85 season, playing in 42 games and posted a 4.20 goals against average (GAA).[9][10] The following year, Vanbiesbrouck played in 61 games, winning a career high 31.[10] The 31 victories accounted for all but five of the Rangers' regular season total.[14] His success continued over to the post-season, where he led the Rangers to an upset over the Philadelphia Flyers in the opening round.[14] He then followed it by defeating a Washington Capitals team that registered 107 points in the regular season.[15] The Rangers lost in the Conference Finals to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canadiens.[16] In the off-season, Vanbiesbrouck was named a First Team NHL All-Star, won the Vezina Trophy as the league's top goaltender,[11] and signed a new three-year contract with the Rangers.[17] He was unable to repeat his success in the next season, with 18 wins and 20 losses in 50 games.
Prior to the
Vanbiesbrouck began the 1989–90 season as the Rangers' starting goaltender, but after the Rangers struggled in early January, he began to share the duties with the recently called-up Mike Richter.[22] During the playoffs, head coach Roger Neilson employed a rotation system between the two goaltenders. The Rangers won their first round match-up against the New York Islanders, but lost to the Washington Capitals in the second round.[23] For his part, Vanbiesbrouck posted a 2–3 record with a 3.02 GAA and a .902 save percentage.
The following season, the two goaltenders formed the best duo in the NHL.[8] The duo remained together even after Vanbiesbrouck had a chance to leave via free agency in 1992. A new collective bargaining agreement established him as a group 2 free agent, allowing the Rangers to match any offer from another team or to claim draft choices as compensation if he were to sign with another team.[24][25] After not receiving much interest from other clubs, Vanbiesbrouck re-signed with the Rangers, signing a two-year deal with an option for the third averaging $1 million per season.[25] At the end of the 1992–93 season, the decision was made to trade Vanbiesbrouck. With the upcoming expansion draft, the Rangers would only be able to protect one goaltender. Faced with the prospect of losing one of their two goaltenders, the Rangers decided to protect Richter and traded the "equally talented" but older Vanbiesbrouck to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for future considerations (ultimately, Doug Lidster).[8][9][26]
Florida Panthers
Vancouver made the trade not with the intention of keeping Vanbiesbrouck, but rather in an attempt to keep other players on their roster from being drafted. Rules of the
In the
During the
Post-Panthers career
During the off-season, Vanbiesbrouck signed a two-year, $7.25 million contract, with an option for a third year, with the Philadelphia Flyers.[51] His first season with Philadelphia was successful, as he posted a career best 2.18 GAA, notching six shutouts, playing in a career high 62 games and registering a 27–18–15 record.[10] However, he struggled in the playoffs.[52] Despite posting good individual numbers (.938 save pct and 1.46 GAA), Vanbiesbrouck let in goals that many Flyers fans perceived to be "soft" that cost the Flyers games. However, what ostensibly cost the Flyers the games was their inability to score timely goals for their goaltender—they scored just 11 goals in 6 games while Vanbiesbrouck allowed just nine goals in six games.[10][53] Philadelphia was eliminated in the first round by the Toronto Maple Leafs in six games.[54] He continued to be "shaky" at the beginning of the 1999–2000 season. As a result, rookie Brian Boucher began playing more.[52] Vanbiesbrouck reached another milestone during the season, becoming the 8th goaltender in NHL history to play in 800 games.[55] Vanbiesbrouck played 50 games during the season, registering a 25–15–9 record, but in the playoffs, the Flyers opted for Boucher.[10][56]
During the
Following his playing career, Vanbiesbrouck earned several accolades. The Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds retired his number (1).[67] NHL named him the best player to wear jersey number 34,[68] and on October 12, 2007, Vanbiesbrouck was inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame.[69] He is 16th in NHL history in wins.[70] However, he is also sixth all-time in losses.[71]

Vanbiesbrouck made his international debut in 1982 representing the United States at the World Junior Championship. In five games he posted a 1–3–0 record with a 5.70 GAA, as the Americans finished in sixth place.[10][72] The next year he again participated in the World Junior Championship. He appeared in five games and lowered his GAA to 3.64, helping the American team improve to fifth place.[10][73]
In
Prior to the 1998 Winter Olympics, an announcement was made that NHL would shut down for two and a half weeks to allow its players to participate in the international tournament for the first time.[83] Vanbiesbrouck was named to the United States team, but spent the majority of the tournament on the bench, playing in one game for only one minute.[10][84] As a team, the Americans finished in a "disappointing" sixth place.[85]

Retirement
Racism against Trevor Daley
When he retired from the NHL, Vanbiesbrouck took over as the
The day after Daley left the team, Vanbiesbrouck resigned his positions as head coach and general manager and sold his ownership stake in the team.[90] In his apology, Vanbiesbrouck stated, "I used the 'N' word instead of calling him Trevor, I used it just not thinking. It's a mistake and consequences have to be paid by me, I've embarrassed everybody and my family by this one comment. It's not what they represent and it's not what the Sault Greyhounds organization represents." He added, "I told Trev this is an old wound with me, I grew up with it. I'm as sorry as anybody that it's stuck with me."[91] Daley returned to the team three days after leaving,[92] but Vanbiesbrouck never returned to a coaching position.[93]

Personal life
Vanbiesbrouck grew up as the youngest of three brothers. His oldest brother, Frank, was a goaltender who played three seasons of junior-A hockey from 1974 until 1977. His other brother, Julian, played left wing for the University of Michigan and briefly played in the International Hockey League as a member of the Toledo Goaldiggers. When Vanbiesbrouck was with the Rangers, his brother Frank showed signs of severe depression and suicidal tendencies.[4][6] During this time, John attempted to reach out to Frank, occasionally flying separately from the team on road trips to check in on his brother, and talking to him every day.[4][6] Despite his efforts, Frank committed suicide in 1993.[6] Vanbiesbrouck called Frank's death "devastating", and that he "felt very empty" when Frank died, adding that his Christian faith and the Bible helped him through the difficult time.[4]
