Rob McVicar

Robert McVicar (born January 15, 1982) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goalie who played one game in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Vancouver Canucks during the 2005–06 season. McVicar played major junior for the Brandon Wheat Kings of the Western Hockey League before being selected by the Canucks in the 2002 NHL entry draft. Turning professional in 2003 he played in the minor American Hockey League and ECHL before being called up and playing his lone NHL game on December 1, 2005, against the Edmonton Oilers, appearing for 3 minutes. He remained in the minor leagues for a further four seasons before retiring from hockey in 2009 and becoming a financial planner and stockbroker.

Playing career Born in Hay River, Northwest Territories, McVicar moved to Brandon, Manitoba at the age of four. As his older brother Jason played goal, McVicar followed suit. A fan of the local Brandon Wheat Kings, a major junior team that played in the Western Hockey League, McVicar was selected by them in the 1997 bantam draft, and spent one year with the team's midget club. In McVicar's only NHL appearance, on December 1, 2005, against the Edmonton Oilers, he played 3 minutes without facing a shot.

During the 2006–07 season, McVicar played in the ECHL with the Utah Grizzlies, and during the 2007-2008 season he played in the CHL with the Arizona Sundogs. He signed with Totempo HvIK for the 2008–09 season. His last season was spent in Germany.

Post-playing career After retiring from hockey, McVicar moved to Regina, Saskatchewan with his wife Laurie and two children. He took up a position as a certified financial planner and stockbroker with Edward Jones Investments.
