He took the path less traveled to get to where he is now; he didn’t even start playing in the CHL until the age of 18. He was cut by the Chicago Wolves out of training camp, and was unable to make the Barrie Colts (OHL) club on his first attempt. But all of that was history by the time Daniel Sedin got injured during the 2013-14 season, and the Canucks turned to Archibald for help. He may not have put up impressive statistics during his 16 games with the Canucks, but he proved he can play in the NHL. Archibald brings a strong forechecking game with him every time he touches the ice.
