Nashville Predators fans keep inching closer to the start of the 2016-17 NHL season. Today lets look at our #63 Mike Ribeiro.
Michael Tavares Ribeiro began his professional career playing with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in the QMJHL. Ribs spent two fabulous seasons with the Huskies helping to find the net on more than a few occasions. Mike helped the offense find the net 292 (107g-185a) times in the 136 games he played. His offensive awareness landed him in his hometown of Montreal with the 45th pick in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft.
Even though Mike was everything you needed in a top line center, he bounced back-in-forth from the AHL to the NHL between 1999-2006.
