About Mikhail Grabovski

Mikhail Grabovski has played for the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Washington Capitals and most recently, the New York Islanders.

Grabovski was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in 2004. After helping Montreal's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate; the Hamilton Bulldogs win the AHL Calder Cup Championship during the 2006-07 season, Grabovski was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

He finished his first full season in Toronto leading all NHL Eastern Conference rookies in scoring with 20 goals and 48 points. Grabovski's display of excellence continued as he racked up 58 points in the 2010-11 season, which was the highest among Maple Leaf centremen since Mats Sundin's 78 points in the 2007-08 season.

Despite being one of the smaller players on the ice, Grabovski's skill and tenacity have always made him a fan favourite.

Since his retirement, Mikhail has found success as both a coach and an entrepreneur.
