[edit] Career

Dave Michayluk was selected in the fourth round, 65th overall and was the fifth pick by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1981 NHL Entry Draft following an impressive offensive season with the Regina Pats of the WHL where he scored 62 goals and 133 points in 72 games in 1980–81 to finish third in team scoring behind Brian Varga and Jock Callander. In his second and final year with the Pats Michayluk improved on his offensive statistics, once again reaching 62 goals but finishing with 173 points, second on the team behind Callander and was chosen to the WHL's Second All-Star Team. He was also called up for one game as an injury replacement with the Philadelphia Flyers.

In 1982–83 Michayluk spent the majority of the year with the Maine Mariners, scoring 32 goals and 72 points in 69 games. In 13 games with the Flyers he had two goals and eight points.

After brief stops with the Springfield Indians and Hershey Bears in the AHL, Michayluk joined the IHL's Kalamazoo Wings where he led the league in goals with 66 in 1984–85 and was selected to the Second All-Star Team. After a 3-game stint with the Nova Scotia Oilers in the AHL, Michayluk began a 12-year association with the IHL's Lumberjacks, first in Muskegon and latterly in Cleveland. He was named a First Team All-Star in 1987, 1988, 1989 and 1990. Each of those years he managed to reach the 100-point plateau and he won the Leo P. Lamoureau Memorial Trophy in 1989 as the league's leading scorer, totalling 122 points on 50 goals and 72 assists. He turned the trifecta in 1989 also winning the IHL's MVP award for the regular season as well as the playoff MVP award. He retired after the 1996–97 season.

The highlight of Michayluk's career came in the 1992 Stanley Cup playoffs where he was called up to the injury-riddled Pittsburgh Penguins during their successful run to the Stanley Cup. He had been signed to a free agent contract three years earlier, but was never used by the Penguins until the Cup run. Michayluk played in seven games and contributed a goal and an assist in earning a Stanley Cup ring. He never played another game in the NHL.

In 14 NHL games, Michayluk had two goals and eight points.
