## Biography

### Amateur

As a youth, Lazaro played in the 1981 [Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament](/source/Quebec_International_Pee-Wee_Hockey_Tournament) with the Boston Braves [minor ice hockey](/source/Minor_ice_hockey) team.[1] He played his final year of junior hockey [Waltham High School](/source/Waltham_High_School) in [Waltham, Massachusetts](/source/Waltham,_Massachusetts).[2] He then joined the [University of New Hampshire](/source/University_of_New_Hampshire)'s [Wildcats](/source/New_Hampshire_Wildcats_men's_ice_hockey) program for the [1986–87](/source/1986%E2%80%9387_Hockey_East_men's_season) season.[3] He played three seasons with the Wildcats as a [defenseman](/source/Defenceman), however, his small stature and his best skill, his speed, was not showcased often when defending. While attending a private hockey camp, he was convinced to change his position to [winger](/source/Winger_(ice_hockey)) in order to take advantage of his abilities and his tenacity chasing the puck.[4] He played his final season with the Wildcats as a left winger and earned the teams' unsung hero award after scoring a career-high 16 [goals](/source/Goal_(ice_hockey)).[5]

### Professional

#### Boston Bruins

Lazaro went undrafted by [National Hockey League](/source/National_Hockey_League) (NHL) teams.[4] He was invited to the [Boston Bruins](/source/Boston_Bruins) training camp in September 1990.[6] After impressing the Bruins during training camp, Lazaro was signed as a free agent.[5] On September 25, Lazaro was assigned Boston's [American Hockey League](/source/American_Hockey_League) (AHL) affiliate, the [Maine Mariners](/source/Maine_Mariners_(AHL)).[7] In 26 games with Maine, he scored eight goals and 11 [assists](/source/Assist_(ice_hockey)) for 19 [points](/source/Point_(ice_hockey)).[8] He was recalled on December 10 after the severity of forward [Bob Carpenter](/source/Bobby_Carpenter_(ice_hockey))'s knee injury was revealed to require surgery.[9] He made his NHL debut for the Bruins on December 12 against the [Hartford Whalers](/source/Hartford_Whalers) in a 5–1 victory, playing on a line with [Dave Poulin](/source/Dave_Poulin) and [Dave Christian](/source/Dave_Christian).[10] He scored his first NHL goal against [goaltender](/source/Goaltender) [Daryl Reaugh](/source/Daryl_Reaugh) in the third period of the following game on December 13, an 8–2 victory over the Whalers.[11][12] By January 1991, he was featuring on the top [penalty kill](/source/Short-handed) unit alongside [Bob Sweeney](/source/Bob_Sweeney_(ice_hockey)).[13] He registered his first multi-point game on January 31 when he registered two assists, assisting on [Ken Hodge Jr.](/source/Ken_Hodge_Jr.)'s opening goal and later [Cam Neely](/source/Cam_Neely)'s third period goal in a 5–2 victory over the [Montreal Canadiens](/source/Montreal_Canadiens).[14] He played in 49 games with the Bruins, scoring five goals and 13 assists for 18 points.[8]

The Bruins made the [1991 Stanley Cup playoffs](/source/1991_Stanley_Cup_playoffs) and Lazaro made his playoff debut in the first game of the first round series against the Hartford Whalers on April 3, scoring a goal on [Peter Sidorkiewicz](/source/Peter_Sidorkiewicz) in the 5–2 loss.[15] He added another goal in the series,[16] which the Bruins won in six games. In the final game, he suffered a [hyperextended](/source/Hyperextension) left knee that took him out of the game for ten minutes.[17] In the next round versus the Montreal Canadiens, Lazaro scored his only goal of the series in game six on [Patrick Roy](/source/Patrick_Roy), taking the lead in the game. Ultimately, the Bruins lost the game in overtime, 3–2,[18] but won the series in seven games. The penalty kill, of which Lazaro was a lead part, was lauded in *[The Boston Globe](/source/The_Boston_Globe)* as a key to their victory.[19] In the third round, Boston faced the [Pittsburgh Penguins](/source/Pittsburgh_Penguins), to whom they lost in six games.[20] In 19 playoff games, he scored three goals and five points.[8]

He began the [1991–92](/source/1991%E2%80%9392_NHL_season) season with the Bruins and registered a goal and assist in the opening game on October 5. He assisted on [Stephen Leach](/source/Stephen_Leach)'s opening goal of the game in the first period and then put one past goaltender [Glenn Healy](/source/Glenn_Healy) in the third period in a 4–3 loss to the [New York Islanders](/source/New_York_Islanders).[21] On November 2, in a game against the [Detroit Red Wings](/source/Detroit_Red_Wings) where an altercation with Detroit defenseman [Vladimir Konstantinov](/source/Vladimir_Konstantinov) at the end of the game quickly amplified into a brawl that left him at the bottom of a pile and nearly unconscious, claiming he had been choked by a Red Wings player. He was helped off the ice by officials.[22] After a loss against the Islanders on November 4, Lazaro was one of four Bruins players assigned to the AHL.[23] He was recalled on December 26 along with forward [Wes Walz](/source/Wes_Walz).[24] In a game against the Montreal Canadiens on January 23, 1992, he suffered a twisted knee attempting to hit [Denis Savard](/source/Denis_Savard) that kept him out of the lineup.[25] He missed fourteen games before returning to the lineup on March 5 in a game against the [Vancouver Canucks](/source/Vancouver_Canucks).[26][27] He aggravated his knee injury after getting tangled up with [Pat LaFontaine](/source/Pat_LaFontaine) in a game against the [Buffalo Sabres](/source/Buffalo_Sabres) on March 11.[28] He returned to the lineup on April 13 replacing Dave Poulin in the lineup in a 6–3 victory over the Hartford Whalers.[29] He finished the regular season having played in 27 games with the Bruins, scoring three goals and nine points. In 21 games with Maine, he scored eight goals and 12 points.[8] The Bruins made the [1992 Stanley Cup playoffs](/source/1992_Stanley_Cup_playoffs), but Lazaro was in and out of the lineup.[30] He played nine of the Bruins' playoff games, registering just one assist in the second round series against Montreal on [Jim Wiemer](/source/Jim_Wiemer)'s game-winning goal in game 3.[8][31]

#### Ottawa Senators

In the 1992 off season, the NHL expanded by two teams, the [Ottawa Senators](/source/Ottawa_Senators) and the [Tampa Bay Lightning](/source/Tampa_Bay_Lightning). Lazaro was among the players left unprotected by Boston.[32] He was selected by Ottawa in the [1992 NHL expansion draft](/source/1992_NHL_expansion_draft) with their tenth forward selection.[33] He had off-season shoulder surgery and began the [1992–93](/source/1992%E2%80%9393_AHL_season) season with Ottawa's AHL affiliate, the [New Haven Senators](/source/New_Haven_Senators), to recover.[34] On November 12, Lazaro and defenseman [Dominic Lavoie](/source/Dominic_Lavoie) were called up to join Ottawa. However, Lazaro was still recovering and did not have full range of motion in his shoulder.[35] Coach [Rick Bowness](/source/Rick_Bowness), caught off guard with the additions, thought neither of them could play on an NHL roster at that time.[36] Lazaro made his Senators debut on November 13 in a 1–0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.[37] In the following game on November 15, he scored his first goal with the Senators on [Dominic Roussel](/source/Dominic_Roussel) in a 7–2 loss to the [Philadelphia Flyers](/source/Philadelphia_Flyers).[38] In a 3–2 win over the [San Jose Sharks](/source/San_Jose_Sharks) on January 10, 1993, Lazaro struck the end boards, his right leg crumpled, and required help to get off the ice.[39] He returned from the injury on February 13 in a match against the Montreal Canadiens having missed 14 games and was then assigned to New Haven on February 18.[40][41] He was recalled one more time by Ottawa on March 7, and played his final game in the NHL against the [Chicago Blackhawks](/source/Chicago_Blackhawks) that night, replacing [Doug Smail](/source/Doug_Smail).[42] He was returned to New Haven on March 9.[43] He appeared in 26 games with Ottawa, scoring six goals and ten points and 27 games with New Haven, scoring 12 goals and 25 points.[8]

#### Minor leagues

In the 1993 off-season, Lazaro was given a termination contract by the Senators.[44][a] Having played on a termination contract in the previous season, Lazaro was effectively an unrestricted free agent.[45] After spending most of the [1993–94](/source/1993%E2%80%9394_AHL_season) season with the [United States national team](/source/United_States_men's_national_ice_hockey_team), he signed an AHL contract with the Boston Bruins affiliate, the [Providence Bruins](/source/Providence_Bruins) on March 7, 1994.[46] He played in 16 games with Providence, scoring three goals and seven points.[8]

Lazaro went overseas to Europe for the [1994–95](/source/1994%E2%80%9395_Austrian_Hockey_League_season) season, playing in the [Austrian Hockey League](/source/Austrian_Hockey_League) with [EC Graz](/source/EC_Graz), appearing in 32 games, scoring 28 goals and 57 points. He then joined the [Ratingen Lions](/source/Ratingen_Lions) of the [Deutsche Eishockey Liga](/source/Deutsche_Eishockey_Liga) for two seasons before returning to North America for the [1997–98](/source/1997%E2%80%9398_ECHL_season) season.[8] He joined the [New Orleans Brass](/source/New_Orleans_Brass) of the [ECHL](/source/ECHL), a joint affiliate of the NHL's [Edmonton Oilers](/source/Edmonton_Oilers) and Montreal Canadiens.[47] He appeared in 70 games for the Brass, scoring 37 goals and 101 points.[8] He appeared in the 1998 ECHL All-Star Game representing the US/World All-Stars.[48] Lazaro was named to the 1997–98 ECHL All-Star Team at season's end.[49] He also briefly played for the joint Canadiens/Oilers AHL affiliate, the [Hamilton Bulldogs](/source/Hamilton_Bulldogs_(AHL)), playing in two games, scoring two goals. The Brass made the 1998 ECHL playoffs and Lazaro appeared in four games, registering four assists.[8]

On September 3, 1998, Lazaro signed an AHL contract with the Detroit Red Wings affiliate, the [Adirondack Red Wings](/source/Adirondack_Red_Wings).[50] He played in 16 games with Adirondack to start the [1998–99](/source/1998%E2%80%9399_AHL_season) season, scoring two goals and ten points.[8] His time with Adirondack came to an end after he was caught [speeding](/source/Speed_limit) and [drunk driving](/source/Drunk_driving_in_the_United_States) by police and was assigned to New Orleans.[51] He finished the season in New Orleans playing in 52 games, scoring 26 goals and 70 points. He spent the next three seasons with New Orleans, ending his career after the [2001–02](/source/2001%E2%80%9302_ECHL_season) season.[8]
