Origin
and identity
Shea Weber built an imposing defensive résumé across Nashville and Montreal, with substantial goal-scoring from the back end.
Nashville selected Weber 49th in 2003. His NHL record grew to include 23-goal seasons in both 2008–09 and 2013–14, unusually substantial finishing numbers for a defenseman. The 2016 Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award added a different form of recognition to those statistical achievements.
A move to Montreal created the second major chapter of his career. Weber played 22 postseason games in 2021 and finished his NHL playing record with 1,038 regular-season appearances and 224 goals. His profile preserves the combination of duration, offensive contribution and recognized leadership that made number six so familiar.
