Donald Brashear was a beloved enforcer in the NHL who was able to play over 1000 games with a plethora of teams, including the Montreal Canadiens and Washington Capitals.
Brashear had a ton of longevity despite the fact that he was a hard-hitter and frequent fighter. In fact, he played in lower leagues for years following his retirement from the NHL. Last year, Brashear played a season of LNAH hockey at the age of 51.
Now, Brashear is entering a new chapter of his professional life. He will now be working as a car salesman at a Nissan dealership in Ste. Foy Quebec. The announcement was made on the dealership's Facebook page, where they welcomed him to the team with open arms.
