Hale played 3 years for NCAA powerhouse North Dakota before becoming a pro in 2003. He was best known as a stay at
home defenseman, and that's the role he continue to take on when he played in New Jersey and in Albany.
To say that the Devils didn't get Hale for his offense would be an understatement. As you can see, he never scored a goal for
the Devils. In fact, he doesn't get his first NHL goal until November 26, 2008, when he, playing for the Phoenix Coyotes,
scored against the Columbus Blue Jackets. At 231 games, his streak of games before getting a first goal is the longest in NHL
history.
And he got a SECOND later in the season, too. Hope he doesn't let it get to his head.
