As a kid watching hockey, I figured Sutter must be the most common last name in all of Canada because it seemed there was at least one Sutter in every team! 😊
Great video honoring a great hockey family, really remarkable. Duane was a significant contributor to the Islanders four Cups. Not a Tonelli but he scored some big goals and here and there (including the infamous offside goal in the Cup winning game in 1980. Brent Sutter has his great year centering Mike Bossy. Not bad work if you can get it. In the '82 playoffs Duane and Brent teamed up with Bob Bourne who said of that line, which was very effective, "We're just a Western Canada kind of line". Thanks to Shannon for the video and thanks to John and Grace Sutter and Viking, Alberta for a truly remarkable contribution to the history of the NHL.
Hi Shannon, thanks for the video on the Sutters. Wanted to let you know about a great book on them (if you haven't already heard about it) It's called Six Shooters by Dean Spiros. I'm sure it's still available if you check on line. I'm in St. louis and Brian was as tough as it gets and a great leader and Captain. I remember once where Brian and Daryl got into a fight on the ice as it was a tilt between the Blues & Blackhawks....Ah...I long for Old time Hockey! Anyway thanks so much check out the book if you care to. Cheers!
When Rich was playing in Vancouver, they played a game against Philadephia with Ron. Craig Berube cross-checked Rich into the boards, in a scary play. I remember that Ron (Philly) jumped onto the ice to be next to his injured brother Rich (Canucks), and Ron skated off the ice with Rich's stretcher.
Late seeing this video... spot on description of the Sutters, hard working, hard nosed. Not spectacular goal scorers but they held their own and defensively sound. I do remember one game.. 1986 maybe... Flyers were playing the Islanders and at one point, Brent, Duane, Rich and Ron were all on the ice at the same time. Almost have a fight break out until they realized who they were looking at... their brothers. Hostilities suddenly ended as they all skated away. Too funny!
THG said …. Let's talk about the Sutter Brothers One Sutter Brother won a bit of banners Making that Sutter Brother better And the other Sutter Brothers bitter.
THANK YOU SHANNON, I have wanted to see this video for a while. Being old l Iike you, I remember the Sutter's and watching games and saying "That's Brent, no Darryl, no Rich, I mean Ron..... and being wrong every time. Seems like there has always been a Sutter Brother in the NHL in some way as long as I've been watching hockey. Actually, I guess there has been.
There was seven brothers. Oldest brother Gary, perhaps was the most gifted one, but instead of going to NHL, he stayed home and worked the farm they have in Alberta. OK, this was mentioned in the video too. Wrote this before the video was over.
@Western Man Peter Stastny, Paul Stasny and I may be confused but I believe there was an Anton Stasny? However I could very easily be wrong. I am sure that someone in RUclipsLand will correct my mistake.
@Western Man I just looked it up... I was almost close to being in the neighborhood. There were 3. Peter, Anton and Marian. I believe that they have sons and/or nephews who play or have played in the NHL?
@Western Man I don't know if people would think so, but I certainly would enjoy it. I would also love to hear about one of the teams (I should have looked it up first) that were the first ones to go to a Communist Country and smuggle a player out of the country to play in the NHL. I know that there was quite the story there...
Western Man well, there are actually four stastny brothers- Anton, Marian and Peter are famous, they fled to nhl...then there's oldest brother Vladimir- he played as well, he brought his other brothers to hockey as they all say, but after studies he stopped and to was a coach ( after revolution he was assistant coach at the Olympic Games in Lillehammer 94 then at WC in st. Petersburg 2000 (where we got silver) and Gothenburg 2002 ( which we won gold). Peters sons Paul and Yan also play hockey
The Sutter brothers epitomized the "Chuck" Norris Division during the 80's. I miss those days. We actually missed Brian during the Stanley Cup run last season. Hockey was in their blood.
I wore my #11 jersey (1979 home white) when I attended game 6 of the SCF. So he was kind of represented :) Side note: I was there way early, and when walking past the video booths I saw Mr. Federko walking the other way. I shouted "Hi Bernie" and waved like an idiot fan. He nodded politely, looking busy, and walking on. I didn't want to pester the man more than I had saying Hi so I'm walking on too. As he walked past me he must of noticed the jersey of his old linemate Brian. I heard "Alright" turned to see him smiling with a laugh, and giving a friendly gesture. I smiled and laughed too, and walked on happy to be alive in that moment.
I know this isn't your thing, but if they are still alive, some interviews with their parents could prove interesting. The Sutters totally deserve their own video, but there are possibilities for some hockey family videos. It could be of different generations or brothers. There are those across generations where players from both generations made it, (like the Hulls and the Howes), and ones where one did make and one didn't make it or hasn't yet. As to a brothers series, of course there's the Richards, the Stastnys, and the Hunters among others.
Gary sounds like that hidden boss who you KNOW was just on a higher level than all the other Sutter bosses that he's just unreachable, not after completing New Game Plus twice, obtaining all the medals and beating all the Sutters in their prime with an S-Rank.
Hi Shannon great to hear about the sutter brothers after you have mentioned them so much lol and I'm really keen to more about other hockey family's and their careers!! I had actually thought of a list of things that I was curious about like highest scoring family or the different generations of the longest serving families like this family played the most games/years or goals and other fun but curious things even the worst but most drafted family i.e. Had 1 star player and the rest got drafted but were busts? Just things I'm interested in knowing about! Finally I always love the history of the game things you do so keep them up 👍🏻
Brent Sutter won 2 out of the 4 Stanley Cups with the New York Islanders, and he also has 3 Canada Cup World Titles. Brent Sutter should be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. 1,111 Games Played, 363 Goals, 466 Assists, 829 Points.
The Sutter brothers. I remember when the Islanders where winning cups and there were these 2 brothers on the team. First time I knew of brothers playing in rhe NHL, let alone on the same team... Blew my mind! ... and then there were more of them! LOL Seemed so wild to me.
We could've had Gary Sutter and instead we ended up with Gary Suter 😝 I always get confused when I think of Suter and Sutter even though they were quite different. Impressive to see how many Sutters were successful
Everyone talking about how as a group they barely edge out Gretzky's pt total, but even as a family the Sutter's don't have as many cup rings as H. Richard, Beliveau, or Provost do individually. Really put's the quality of that series of MTL squads in perspective.
Duane missed most of 1980-81 with damaged ligaments in his right knee, an injury he suffered on November 11 vs. Minnesota. The injury required surgery and his next game back wasn't until March 20. He then also missed the end of the 1980-81 season and start of the 1981 playoffs with a dislocated right shoulder, an injury he suffered on April 2, 1981 vs. the Rangers. His first game back wasn't until April 20. The shoulder injury required another surgery during the summer of 1981. Rough season for Duane.
He was my favorite player during my school years (Jr. high through college) . Liut and Federko tied for distant 2nd. Awesome mix of skill, grit, and leadership.
All great players, but in my opinion, Brian Sutter was the best player. I grew up watching him, and man, he did not take any shit from opposing players, big or small.
5 лет назад+2
Imagine being the seventh brother...the one who didn't make the NHL.
5 лет назад
And to think that Brett's lone goal catapulted the Gretzky brothers ahead of the six of them for total NHL goals scored by brothers.
What's amazing is we had 3 Staals...we have 3 Hughes. That seems amazing. They had SIX. that seems like the odds would be impossible to give birth to 6 men who all played in the NHL...and all belonged. Wasnt like 4 could play and 2 got in just because of their name. They all showed they could play. Wasnt anything like Wayne and Brent you could have 6 doctors before 6 very good hockey players
The only hockey family that's close to matching the Sutter's in NHL success and depth is the Staal's. Flames had three as coaches Brian, Darryl and Brent with the most success with Darryl. Darryl as general manager was a different story especially towards the end of his tenure.
My moms side of the family is from Viking so she grew up with the sutters. My uncle and cousin went to LA with Darryl to watch the game they won the cup in 14 and got to celebrate with the team. Also, Gary was apparently a heavy drinker and that why he never went pro. But that just what I’ve heard from family, idk for sure
Kinda related question? Why can't it be Beagle to be in trade/waiver wire discussions instead of Brandon Sutter. He's looking OK right now clean bill of health could have a good camp! Sutter > Beagle Sutter > Schaller You gotta see it this way right? So Sutter and Gaudette are in and Beagle and Schaller are out. Beagle, 13th man. Schaller, 1st call up from Utica. Hey HG, ..... it's relevant! Brandon Sutter is a "legitimate" Sutter, a good one. Maybe playing in a much stronger lineup helps him stay healthy
Brian was the greatest Captain in the history of the Blues. There have been better players who were captain, but #11 was the best at being the Captain.
As a kid watching hockey, I figured Sutter must be the most common last name in all of Canada because it seemed there was at least one Sutter in every team! 😊
Rich and Ron played together in St. Louis while being coached by Brian
Rich & Ronnie, on the same checking line was epic. Killed penalties like nobody else could.
Rich is the father of former Saskatoon Blade and Winnipeg Jet draft pick Lukas Sutter
Great video honoring a great hockey family, really remarkable. Duane was a significant contributor to the Islanders four Cups. Not a Tonelli but he scored some big goals and here and there (including the infamous offside goal in the Cup winning game in 1980. Brent Sutter has his great year centering Mike Bossy.

Thanks for the book recommendation, I just ordered it off Amazon.
Didn't realize how old it was. Apparently it was published way back in 1990.
At one point, I believe in '91 or '92, we had Brian as the coach, and Rich & Ronnie playing on the same line together with the Blues. It was epic.
When Rich was playing in Vancouver, they played a game against Philadephia with Ron. Craig Berube cross-checked Rich into the boards, in a scary play. I remember that Ron (Philly) jumped onto the ice to be next to his injured brother Rich (Canucks), and Ron skated off the ice with Rich's stretcher.

Let's talk about the Sutter Brothers
One Sutter Brother won a bit of banners
Making that Sutter Brother better
And the other Sutter Brothers bitter.

Also, by the way. The next video has got to be the 'Stasny Brothers'. Should be a smaller board. I don't remember as many of them.
exeter1985 There si just three of them. But talking only about their nhl stats would not do full justice to their careers
@Western Man Peter Stastny, Paul Stasny and I may be confused but I believe there was an Anton Stasny? However I could very easily be wrong. I am sure that someone in RUclipsLand will correct my mistake.

As a life long Flyers fan, the Sutter name will always hold a special place in my heart and memories. Fantastic video, thank you !!
The Sutter brothers have 3,209 career points (regular season and playoffs), Gretzky has 3,239
Gretzky's #'s are alien. That should be surprising but it got to a point nothing he did surprised me.
This was a very interesting video. The Sutter brothers knew how to do enough to have good careers, which is impressive.
Now that is a hockey video!
Hey, hey, what else can I say, except for congrats on 121k?!
you also have the stasnys and the giontas probably a lot more families in it as well could make for a fun series.
Gary sounds like that hidden boss who you KNOW was just on a higher level than all the other Sutter bosses that he's just unreachable, not after completing New Game Plus twice, obtaining all the medals and beating all the Sutters in their prime with an S-Rank.
Awesome video, nice content!!!

Seemed so wild to me.
You should have work all of their jerseys on top of each other, and take one off as you move on to the next brother.
Duane and Brent were great Islanders with Brent taking the Captaincy subsequent to Potvin's retirement.
Now we just need him to rank his favourite hockey familes lol
Kings fans will always be grateful to Daryl for our Stanley Cup championships! Thank you Daryl! 🏆🏆
Amazing that there was a Sutter playing in the NHL for nearly a quarter of the league’s existence up to this point.
We could've had Gary Sutter and instead we ended up with Gary Suter 😝 I always get confused when I think of Suter and Sutter even though they were quite different. Impressive to see how many Sutters were successful

I am 62 and from Viking also i grew up with them
I always forget the the suter family is not the same family as the sutter family.
Ok THG we need to get you a NORDS magnet in the appropriate size...
Next one has to be the Stasny brothers, if you choose to do a series around family players. Another interesting hockey family is the Staal family.
another great video shannon
Darryl is my favorite one.. kings fan here
Mine too. Flames fan lol
Awesome video!
HG - Duane had an injury in 80-81 that kept him out of the lineup for a while. Some sort of knee thing I think.
Duane missed most of 1980-81 with damaged ligaments in his right knee, an injury he suffered on November 11 vs. Minnesota. The injury required surgery and his next game back wasn't until March 20.
He then also missed the end of the 1980-81 season and start of the 1981 playoffs with a dislocated right shoulder, an injury he suffered on April 2, 1981 vs. the Rangers. His first game back wasn't until April 20.
The shoulder injury required another surgery during the summer of 1981.
Rough season for Duane.
Brian Sutter heart and sole of the Blues
He was my favorite player during my school years (Jr. high through college) . Liut and Federko tied for distant 2nd.
Awesome mix of skill, grit, and leadership.
Much respect for the Sutter brothers
Form st Louis and I let are local FM 101espn fast lane know about you wish they would try and put you on love how fair you are
All great players, but in my opinion, Brian Sutter was the best player. I grew up watching him, and man, he did not take any shit from opposing players, big or small.
Imagine being the seventh brother...the one who didn't make the NHL.
And to think that Brett's lone goal catapulted the Gretzky brothers ahead of the six of them for total NHL goals scored by brothers.
Darryl Sutter will be inducted in the Builder category, and Brent Sutter will be inducted in the player category eventually.
Rank the best moustaches in hockey. Spoiler alert, Lanny MacDonald is #1.
Maruk would have something to say about that.
I always appreciated Dirk Graham's police lieutenant look.
Babych.
nicely done
What's amazing is we had 3 Staals...we have 3 Hughes. That seems amazing. They had SIX. that seems like the odds would be impossible to give birth to 6 men who all played in the NHL...and all belonged. Wasnt like 4 could play and 2 got in just because of their name. They all showed they could play. Wasnt anything like Wayne and Brent
you could have 6 doctors before 6 very good hockey players
Brian and Brent were the most talented but Duane was pretty good
The only hockey family that's close to matching the Sutter's in NHL success and depth is the Staal's.
Flames had three as coaches Brian, Darryl and Brent with the most success with Darryl. Darryl as general manager was a different story especially towards the end of his tenure.
Love the Sutters!
Could you do a video on the best fight records please
Which family is the most popular in the province of Alberta?? The Sutters or the Harts?
Imagine all six of them on the same team good luck
My moms side of the family is from Viking so she grew up with the sutters. My uncle and cousin went to LA with Darryl to watch the game they won the cup in 14 and got to celebrate with the team. Also, Gary was apparently a heavy drinker and that why he never went pro. But that just what I’ve heard from family, idk for sure
From my hometown 😀
Is There a Sutter Highway - named after Them ? How many People - LOVES HOCKEY THERE ?
Blue Collar Bros.
How much of a gap before the second gen started? I’m thinking not much
The craziest part is that they just farmed in the off season
the best bit is the one with the shortest career is probably the only one to get in the HOF, since Darryl probably gets in eventually as a coach
He forgot to mention the lemieux brothers Mario and alain had some fairly decent combined stats as well!!
Kinda related question? Why can't it be Beagle to be in trade/waiver wire discussions instead of Brandon Sutter.
He's looking OK right now clean bill of health could have a good camp!
Sutter > Beagle
Sutter > Schaller
You gotta see it this way right?
So Sutter and Gaudette are in and Beagle and Schaller are out.
Beagle, 13th man.
Schaller, 1st call up from Utica.
Hey HG, ..... it's relevant!
Brandon Sutter is a "legitimate" Sutter, a good one.
Maybe playing in a much stronger lineup helps him stay healthy
Brian was the greatest Captain in the history of the Blues.
There have been better players who were captain, but #11 was the best at being the Captain.
Ronnie, Richie, Bass. Skate boys, skate
Love the madness boards.
So it takes 6 guys to beat Gretzkys scoring record?? Lol
What about the Staal brothers
Do Hughes next
Blackhawk fans loved the Sutter Brothers. Me anyway.
merci
your hand must be tired thats alot of writing!
Ron and Rich are identical twins
I know
Who's the best coach, of the brothers? 🥸
Is it true or a myth that Gary the one who did not play hockey.won lottery money…
New Oilers Jersey is sexxxxxyyyyy
gotta love hockeyreference.com for those stats
Didnt a player named Gary Sutter play in san jose aswell?
Gary Suter, but he is Suter, not Sutter.
Oldest of the Sutter brothers is Gary btw, but he never played in NHL.
The Dog Was my favorite! Duane!!!
Plus gary sutter the oldest
Rumor had it some of them were rabid.
Justme77 only some?
