Born in Pickering, Ontario, he started his career with the Detroit Red Wings.
The next season, he was traded to the L.A. Kings, and built a reputation as a tough guy to play against and someone who speaks his mind.
Some people loved his style. Others? Not so much.
Sean got hit with the label "Most Hated Man in the NHL."
Fast-forward to 2007, Sean went to the New York Rangers and established himself as a valuable player, not just a shit disturber.
But in last season's playoffs Sean stirred things up again - screening New Jersey's Martin Brodeur like it had never been done before.
The NHL wasn't amused and had to create a new rule to stop it.
Off the ice, Sean is a character too.
He loves the Hollywood life, he's dated celebrities and spent this past summer as an intern at Vogue.
This year, Avery's starring in two new lineups - the GAP fall 2008 campaign and the Dallas Stars, after he was signed by his former roommate, general manager Brett Hull. - Sport
Avery needs a show I swear dudes a legend
Avery now has a podcast (audio only) "No Gruffs Given" with Sean Avery
@@Eric-zq6sb yeah I know listen to it every Wednesday
I think Sean is hilarious and creative. 1 of fav players
When he was actually producing, he was such an effective player.
Well, when anyone is producing, they're generally an effective player. But Avery? He averaged 35 pts. and 200 minutes in penalties a season. Hardly effective at all.
He wasn't. Other guys could have put the same numbers up and not act like a douchebag like Avery and embarass the whole league.
And today he films himself being an asshole to strangers in the streets. It says a lot about the guy.
tortorella ruined him and gaborik
@@paul-baseballcollector yeah you're def the guy who would park in the bike lane and get ripped apart by avery
@@righteous.4641 nope lol. And Avery should have better things to do than "rip appart" people on the streets lol. It's a really douchebag thing to do to film yourself hoping to find an opportunity to be an asshole to a stranger
I'm a Leafs fan, but I love Avery. He's freaking hilarious!
Spilia4 (John Tatsiou) same😂
He is an idiot. No doubt about it. He is a disgusting human being.
I'm a leafs fan as well. Avery is hilarious. He played his role well. He's different but he's not a bad dude.
@@kipp7943 Oh yeah, he's different alright. Not a bad dude? Tell that to Georges Laraque.
Same
I miss you Sean Avery and I hope you come back to the NHL and play for a contending team that will take you and win the STANLEY Cup period
Funniest thing "Sears catalogues as shin pads"
Aves is a legend.
+Rev201287 I love Sean Avery and he is a legend.
Rev201287 I think the world about Sean Avery too.
I second that comment
@@rebeccabroughton3730 you no nothing ,,,hokay?
Who would've been perfect in Boston
The NHL should only be so lucky to have more guys like this in their ranks. Truly and interesting character and backs up what he says with great play on the ice.
Sean Avery is a swaggmaster all the way. I love his swagger.
Let's give props to the guy that actually conducted the interview. Had really good questions and got to the point without crossing those boundaries. Great Job!
Lol the only classy moment in his career
@AmaranthTV Can you send me the link? I can't find it!
I absolutely love Sean Avery and this clip only makes me love him more
i freaking love Sean Avery too.
this vid changed how i see sean avery as a player and a person forever
Gotta love Ave
i love sean
he's just so great!
can you make this work for mobile viewing?
This was a great interview. Much better than expected.
Goog interview. Nice to see that Sean seems decent off the ice.
Great, great interview.
Geroge is amazing.
His book is great.
this guy is perfection!!!!
Avery IS my favorite Hockey player. He ticks a lot of people off because he is effective at his role in hockey. I hope he comes play with the MN WILD. Sadly most people don't realize just how brilliant Avery is, everything he does, he does well and with reason.
best of `the hour` - regards from germany
This interview has changed my opinion of him to some extent. I don't like him as a player, but as a person he seems very nice. It is refreshing to see an athlete that wants to learn and who self-educates.
AGREE! I like your style!
No offence to hockey players, but damn is he right calling most of them simple. Love Crosby but he watches god damn Duck Dynasty, how deep can he really be?
Todd clips most NHL players dont have personality...avery was throwback to the old days
Dude was a great Ranger....so I'm good with him. He....to me... typifies hockey. Hit hard....play hard....fight hard...and aggravate the opponent as much as possible. Hockey needs him....or guys like him. I like his transparency....he's not afraid to speak out.
Stop with the hate Avery is awasome
Trenin Sziva hes a fucking DICK
liam middleton hes just doing his job
His job is being an idiot
whats there not to like? hes ballsy rugged dude
poopmcscoopface I really love Avery and miss Sean Avery too.
we miss u in new york
Love him
guys like this are great for hockey
I have a new respect for Sean Avery. I hated him before based on media reports, but after this interview you realize who he really is. He's honest, open, smart, adventurous, and funny. He's definitely not boring and doesn't take life seriously. He doesn't speak the redundant, scripted hockey language. I would rather hear Sean Avery speak on a talk show than Crosby or Iginla any day. What a personality. It's too bad Toronto didn't want him. Cherry's getting old and senile. Time for Ron MacLean.
do your thing brother! you are missed in NYC.
dude what show is this ? I fucking want it down here in Fort Worth Tx
this guy makes me soo proud, man ur fine with the nucks
His "track record" isn't "that gay?"
Tell us more about how you know about the inner workings of the dressing room.
I want him in Montreal!
I'm not a hockey fan but I love sean
Ha, Stars captain Brendan Morrow's favorite player growing up was also Brett Hull.
Sean Avery was the epitome of narcissism and ego. But I think time has matured him somewhat as he sounds a lot better now and can acknowledge his costly mistakes. Who wasn`t like that though to some extent when they were young though...well maybe not to his extent but I knew lots of guys like that.
The NHL needs a sean avery type player
@ffairlane57 Don't forget the loooong list of actresses and supermodels he's nailed.
I don't mind Sean he is different when it comes to life!
I like that guy !
i will vote this guy into the hall of fame
It'll take more than 1 single vote for that to happen.
When my belly starts a-rumblin'
and Im Jonesin' for a treat,
I close my eyes for a big surprise
the Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch
Obviously he has to run a show and that includes getting his guests involved.
He didn't actually suck up to him that much, but he certainly has reserved comments about things he's said.
I like him.. Hes wrong about Grapes but I like him.. What is the rule they changed because of what he did to Brodeur? He didnt touch him or stand in the blue ice.. He screened him and he took maximum risk of getting hit with the puck so his team could score.. Im a goalie and I loved it.
Avery makes some good predictions about the leafs.
Go Dallas! I think they did a good job by signing him and he hates the Leafs. He's alright by me.
why what did u say to him and what did he do?
I LOVE YOU AVERY! GOOOO RANGERS!!!
I'd take him on my team any day
Who has more respect for Avery now?
Same as Eddie Belfour also wasnt drafted also
cnn canceled george's show quickly, some canadians just dont translate to the US
robertk2007 CNN is a horseshit news station. Never been a fan of them. They’re fake news!
Alright, let's hear your opinion on best agitator... Marchard, Avery, or Barnaby?
Barnaby, but Avery a close second
no one can teach him he has to learn that him self, but dont look like he is learning..
I thought I might not enjoy this interview but Sean's alright. Also, his idea that most hockey players are "very, very simple" couldn't be more accurate.
despite not going to school (for the most part) he's a very intelligent guy. there's little doubt he could've been successful going through academia
As an englishman who doesnt even like hockey I find this guy kinda interesting he sure doesnt seem as bad as what ive read about him but hey I dont know as I said im not a hockey fan!
2020
I fucking Love Sean Avery - Stars Fan p.s we miss you.lmao
I'm in love...
this interview made me like him...he's so honest about being an ass it's awesome :)
Too bad Dallas couldn't handle being good and entertaining. Still living off the fumes of that asterisk cup
sean avery for president!
loll he's pretty funny! Looks like a good guy on the ice, but I agree with a previous comment. George should have asked him: "Did you make fun of Blake's cancer?"
@IggyJiggy12 yea i know but it was his choice
This guy blew me in a bar in Florida
More info please..
Hes a great player for the league as a whole. My wife likes him more than me.
Does she know he retired in 2012? Because you don't seem to.....
@@ToddCrispies Yes skippy. When he played, he was great for the game. He continues to get people talking about hockey and the NHL even after being retired for over a decade. Most players fade away.
@MrZombieIsHungry i love Avery and am pissed tortorella waived him again :c.
@polarpuff2651199 My guess is that Avery and Tortorella don't get along at all. Avery seems like the type of guy who would have something to say if the couch treated him in a rude way. Tortorella is the type who probably pushes his weight around when a player dares to challenge anything he says. I bet him sending Avery away again has a lot more too it than meets the eye.... just my guess. I still say, bring Avery to MN, he is a effective player that any team should be happy to have.
I'm so glad they booted Mr Short Pants Skinny Jeans off HNIC. I may watch it again... Even if it's the CBC. Good Riddance Strombo...
He is right about don cherry
I hope they pardon this guy. What a shame being convicted of a crime you didn't commit :(
I find it odd..but I seem to like him more after this interview. I've always known for him to be an ass and I know he can be one, but I don't know, this interview just made me have a different perception on him.
I love what he said about Don Cherry, about time pros started to tell the truth about him, yeah hes great for hockey but he's not that great. Preaching ignorance is not a great thing and Avery is good for pointing that shit out.
he forgot that he played with the stars
we was obv half joking about the montreal thing... he just said it to piss off george
Didn’t this guy have a CNN show that was cancelled?
i guess only his twitter followers see he nearly raked in 2 mill for staten island -,-
will dallas be in last place at the end of the season, i doubt it
will toronto be in last place at the end of the year, wouldnt suprise me
@MrZombieIsHungry Yup, I tend to agree. I know there's all this talk of 'respect' and 'the code' around the league but frankly, I don't think it really exists in today's NHL. Avery is an entertaining guy to watch and his skill gets overshadowed by his questionable actions and comments but people that hate him need to ask themselves if they wouldn't be a bit Avery-like if they were making millions of dollars off of their hard work.
bam margera on ice
Avery should take Don’s spot on coaches corner
When I get to Dallas,I am going to be the Biggest JERKOFF ever....atta boy Avery !
I dig Avery
I hate Sean Avery on the ice but off the ice he seems like a cool guy
i like the dude
Idk man. Sean's gestures are kind of suspect. I've never really said it before, but now that HE said something about it, I've always thought he was somethin.
Avery was absolutely right about Don Cherry. Thank god he's done.
lol avery seems to have calm down since he returned. which is kind of a shame, i wanted to see things heat up between him and marty.
lol I don't know...I don't hate him as much as did...
He didn't do Highschool. No wonder.
Strombo actually likes Don? Oh well, Avery bashing Grapes gave me a whole new respect for him. He may be a jerk-ass on the ice, but he's no dummy.
