Brendan Shanahan was born and raised in the west side of Toronto in Mimico, Ontario.

After two years with the Ontario Hockey League's London Knights, Shanahan was drafted with the second overall pick by the New Jersey Devils in 1987. He would go on to play 21 seasons in the NHL with the Devils, St. Louis Blues, Hartford Whalers, Detroit Red Wings and New York Rangers.

Over the course of his career he captured three Stanley Cup Championships in addition to an Olympic gold medal, a World Championship gold medal and a Canada Cup title as a part of Team Canada. A combination of skill and toughness, Shanahan is the only player in League history to score over 600 goals (656) and also rack up over 2,000 penalty minutes (2,489). His streak of 19 consecutive seasons with 20 or more goals is surpassed only by Gordie Howe. In 2013, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

He was the recipient of the NHL's King Clancy Memorial Trophy in 2003, an annual award presented to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice while making a noteworthy humanitarian contribution to his community.

Upon retiring at age 40, Shanahan spent the next five years working at the League office in New York City, initially as Vice President of Hockey and Business Development and later as Senior Vice President of Player Safety and Hockey Operations. At the conclusion of the 2013-14 season, he accepted the role of President and Alternate Governor of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
