Nathan McIver

After being drafted in the second round of the 2002 OHL Priority out of the Summerside Junior program, Nathan McIver made his OHL debut with St. Michael’s during the 2002-03 season. His solid rookie season, during which he tallied 15 points and was a +5, led him to be selected in the eighth round by the Vancouver in 2003. After attending training camp with the Canucks, McIver returned to St. Mike’s where he duplicated his rookie season with 15 points. 
 
2006-07: McIver had a steady season with the Manitoba Moose where he played an increased role.  He ended the year with 139 penalty minutes and three points in 63 games.  He also got into one NHL game when the team got into injury trouble.

2007-08: The best season of his career, McIver was the clear benefactor of the injuries that struck the Canucks’ blueline.  While he did score six points in his 43 AHL games, the real story was his 52 PIM in 17 NHL games.  McIver was solid in the limited role he was asked to play by the team, including 7-12 minutes a night and dropping the mitts.

2008-09: McIver returned to the Vancouver Canucks in a deal that sent Mike Brown to the Anaheim Ducks.
