NHL Players with degrees

Its not uncommon at all from what I understand.


I know Parayko finished his degree in business management or finance while still playing for the Blues.....like he was doing homework while in the playoffs lmao....
 
Alex Killorn graduated from Harvard with a political science degree. His gpa was also 3.5!

Not bad
 
Craig Adams has a degree in economics from Havard.

Conor Sheary has a degree is Hospitality and Tourism Management .

Zach Aston-Reese has a degree in Graphic Design.

Douglas Murray, IIRC, had a degree in mathematics?

There was a Player's Tribune article about a player that stayed to finish his mechanical engineer degree. Can't remember who though.
 
More info in the link:

In the above video translated by Igor Kleyner, Ovechkin’s mom says her son “finished a graduate program two years ago. I can’t recall exactly what the name of his thesis is, but the fact is, right now he is preparing to defend his dissertation. He will be defending either this year or next.”

There is absolutely no other information. Tatyana mentions “a university” but does not give a name.

We did some digging to try and understand this news more.

Apparently, the three-time Hart trophy winner graduated from the Russian State University of Physical Culture, Sports, Youth, and Tourism in 2008. In September of that year, the Russian site Newsland says Ovechkin graduated (presumably a bachelor’s or equivalent) and was “thinking” about graduate school at the time.

Given the answer I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but that would be John Scott.

Was it really? I would have remember John Scott...I'll go have a look.

EDIT:

John Scott is where I must have gotten the mechanical engineering part but the article I was referring to was Justin Abdelkader and him finishing his degree at Michigan St.

Vesey also stayed at Havard to get his "government" degree.

"The Redundancy Department of Redundancy called..." :laugh:

Came here to post about Parayko, but it's been covered by other Blues fans. I really enjoyed John Scott's players tribune article, talking about him trying to work on difficult engineering homework while riding the bus to an away game...it must've been so difficult balancing hockey and a serious degree. Not sure I could've handled all that when I was in school (luckily I was in no danger of being good enough at hockey to worry about a professional career haha).

Really any NCAA athlete balancing the demands of competing at a very high level with a rigorous academic workload/a serious degree is incredibly impressive to me. Kudos to all the guys mentioned in this thread!

completed that degree in 3 years with a 4.0 GPA and did not speak English when he started it. (he went to school in the US)
 
Joe Juneau as mentioned above. Interesting fact about Joe, apparently during the NHL lockout he built a 2 seat airplane out of boredom.
