Arriving in the NHL at 28, Mark Streit came in as a brilliant swing player whose offensive sensibilities from the blueline made him a very effective two-way player. Streit would really come into his own as a member of the New York Islanders and would earn the distinction of being the first Swiss-born captain of an NHL team. An All-Star in 2009, Streit would internationally captain the Swiss team for years.
