description: "Norman Steven Maciver is a Canadian professional ice hockey executive and former player. He is an associate general manager for the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL). As a player, he played defence. Maciver played college hockey with the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) beginning in 1982. During his time at UMD, Maciver was named an All-American twice, in 1985 and 1986. He went undrafted by NHL teams and signed as a free agent with the New York Rangers in 1986. He then went on to play for the Hartford Whalers and Edmonton Oilers. While with the Oilers' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Cape Breton Oilers, Maciver won the Eddie Shore Award as the league's best defenceman. He was then selected by the expansion Ottawa Senators in 1992 in the waiver draft and led the team in scoring in their inaugural season. He was then traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins and Winnipeg Jets, appearing in that franchise's final season. When the team and its assets were relocated to become the Phoenix Coyotes, Maciver played in their first season in 1996. After a couple of injury-plagued seasons, Maciver retired from playing hockey in 1999 after playing for six teams in the NHL during a thirteen-year professional career. Maciver then took up coaching, first as an assistant in the AHL, then with the Boston Bruins of the NHL."
