Iain Fraser captained his hometown Oshawa Generals to a Memorial Cup junior national hockey championship in 1990. Although born in Scarborough, Iain grew up in Oshawa and graduated from R.S. McLaughlin Collegiate and Vocational Institute in 1988. Drafted into the Ontario Hockey League in 1986, Iain played parts of four seasons with the Generals and competed at two Memorial Cup tournaments, culminating in the magical 1989-90 season. As captain of the Generals, Iain led the team to the 1990 national championship, winning the Stafford Smythe Memorial Trophy as the tournament’s most valuable player. He also led the OHL playoffs in assists with 22 in 17 games and won the Leo Lalonde Trophy as the OHL overage player of the year. Iain went on to have a long and productive professional career. Selected in the 12th round of the 1989 NHL draft by the New York Islanders, he played seven games with the Islanders in the 1992-93 season before signing as a free agent with the Quebec Nordiques, where he scored 17 goals and 37 points in 60 games playing alongside future Hall of Famers Joe Sakic and Mats Sundin. Iain was named to the NHL rookie All Star team in his rookie year with the Nordiques. Additionally, while playing with Edmonton Oilers, he represented Canada as a member of Team Canada, winning a Bronze Medal at the World Championship. Over the course of a 17-year pro career in North America and Europe, Iain piled up more than 700 points in 750-plus games, including 94 career NHL games.
