Braydon Coburn had a phenomenal career in Junior Hockey, winning Gold in the World Juniors and WJU18 while excelling at the blueline for the Portland Winter Hawks.  Coburn was a First Round Pick (8^th Overall) in 2003, debuting two years later with the Atlanta Thrashers, but he only played 38 Games in ATL before he was traded to Philadelphia.

Coburn honed his skills in Broad Street, becoming a stalwart on Defense capable of providing an offensive rush.  Better as a traditional stay-at-home Defenseman, Coburn was dealt to Tampa Bay in 2015, giving depth to the contenders and playing a small role in their 2020 Stanley Cup win.  He finished his career with brief spells with the New York Islanders and Ottawa before retiring in 2021.

A Philadelphia Flyer for seven full seasons and parts of two others, Braydon Coburn and his 6’ 5” frame would later be considered to be a steal for the Flyers when they traded Alexei Zhitnik to get him.  In Coburn’s first full season as a Flyer, he would have career highs of 9 Goals, 27 Assists and 36 Points.  Coburn proved to be a solid presence on the blueline for Philadelphia throughout his tenure there.
