Description www.cbc.ca Born in Pickering, Ontario, he started his career with the Detroit Red Wings. The next season, he was traded to the LA 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.
