Eric Staal Scores A Season Record

Eric Staal is one of the most talented wingers playing in the NHL at the moment and he has had an exceptional season scoring 100 points in the regular season and another 28 in the playoffs and leading his team to the Stanley Cup.

Born on October 29th in Thunder Bay Canada Eric Staal is considered by many to be one of the NHL's most talented players.

He currently plays for the Carolina Hurricanes in the NHL and has three younger brothers who are all playing in the OHL.

Much to the disappointment of his many fans he recently got engaged to Tanya Vanden Broeke.

Before joining the Carolina Hurricanes he played for the Peterborough Petes in the OHL and was drafted second overall by the Hurricanes in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.

He started his NHL career right after being drafted and played in the Youngstars game during the 2004 NHL All Star celebrations.

Then in 2005 he was named NHL Offensive Player of the Week during the week of Oct 23-30.

It was during that week that he scored his first career hat trick on against the Philadelphia Flyers and he was voted fourth in the Hart Trophy which is the NHL equivalent to the MVP.

In 2006 Eric Staal signed a new 3 year contract with the Hurricanes and early 2007 he and his brother Jordan were members of the 2007 winning Canadian team in the IIHF World Championships.

This six inch figure is another McFarlanes classic featuring Eric Staal in his teams regular colors.

Mc Farlanes attention to detail has again paid off create another excellent figure that is sure to be popular with fans and collectors.
