Tyler Paul Seguin (born January 31, 1992) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre currently playing for the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League (NHL). Seguin was selected second overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft by the Boston Bruins and went on to win the 2011 Stanley Cup in his rookie season. He finished the 2011–12 season in Boston with a plus-minus of +34, the second highest in the NHL.
During the 2012–13 NHL lockout, Seguin played for EHC Biel of the Swiss National League A (NLA) and finished the season with 25 goals, the most on the team. In 2013, Seguin played in his second Stanley Cup Finals in three seasons, ultimately losing the series to the Chicago Blackhawks. On July 4, 2013, Seguin was traded by the Bruins to the Dallas Stars for a package of players including Loui Eriksson.
Seguin was born in Brampton, but grew up in Whitby, Ontario, Canada, with his two younger sisters, Candace and Cassidy. His parents are Jackie and Paul Seguin. He grew up in a hockey household; both of his parents and both sisters play hockey, with his father having played college ice hockey for the University of Vermont.
Seguin attended St. Michael's College School in Toronto prior to being drafted by the Plymouth Whalers of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).
