Playing career
He played 1054 NHL regular season games between 1986 and 2003. Berube was known as an enforcer and fighter in the NHL, and amassed 3149 penalty minutes in his career, good for seventh on the all-time list. Berube once punched official Kevin Collins while trying to fight Lindy Ruff.[1]
In November 1997, Berube called Florida's black player Peter Worrell "a monkey". Berube was suspended one game for his comment.[2][3]
Coaching career
Berube was named the head coach of the Philadelphia Phantoms, the Flyers' affiliate in the American Hockey League, prior to the 2006–07 AHL season. However, on October 23, 2006, Berube was promoted to the Flyers' NHL coaching staff after a major reorganization in the franchise. On October 22, 2006, Bob Clarke resigned from his position as general manager of the Flyers, and head coach Ken Hitchcock was released from his duties. John Stevens, formerly assistant coach, was named the Flyers' new head coach, and Berube was designated to replace him. For the 2007–08 season, Berube returned to the Phantoms as head coach.
Family
Berube's son, Mike, is currently playing professional ice hockey with the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League.[4]
