Play career
Malarchuk plays a junior hockey for the Portland Winter Hawks of the Western Hockey League (WHL). He then went on to play professionally in the National Hockey League (NHL) for Quebec Nordiques, Washington Capitals, and Buffalo Sabers, and at the International Hockey League (IHL) for San Diego Gulls and Las Vegas Thunder. He has a career record of 141 wins, 130 losses, 45 ties, 12 closures, and 0.885 percent savings.
Malarchuk made his NHL debut with Nordiques on December 13, 1981, starting the start in a highway game against Buffalo Sabers. The Nordiques were dissatisfied with Michel Plasse's back-up goaltender at the time, and decided to give Malarchuk a look, despite his young age (he had just turned 20 several months earlier). He was good enough in his first game, a 4-4 game, but the second, two days later, was much more difficult, as he faced the Stanley Cup champions New York Islanders. The Nordiques liked the wide-open style of play at the time, and Malarchuk was left largely to his own device and faced 37 shots, letting 10 goals pass him, in a wild 10-7 loss, in what was the highest scoring game in Nassau Coliseum history. After his audition failed, he was returned to the American Hockey League after the game and did not return until the following season. Quebec trades Plasse to Hartford Whalers at the end of the season in exchange for John Garrett, responding to the team's need for a reliable back-up goaltender for Dan Bouchard.
Malarchuk played frugally at the NHL the following two seasons, then not at all in 1984-85, as he spent most of these three years with Fredericton Express at AHL. He became the main goaltender of the Nordiques in 1985-1986, retaining the job for two seasons, despite continuous controversy over whether he or Mario Gosselin's favorite locals should be a starter. In the statistical game, during the 1984 NHL Playoff, he was not credited with the game being played, but was still judged with a 15-minute penalty. In Game 6 of the Adams Division Final against Montrà © Ã… al Canadiens on April 20, he was awarded a massive penalty and error game for leaving his team bench to take part in an on-ice fight. He traded to the Washington Capitals after the 1986-87 season with Dale Hunter in return for GaÃÆ'  «tan Duchesne, Alan Haworth and a first-round option in the 1987 NHL Entry Draft which eventually landed at Nordiques Joe Sakic.
Neck Injury
During the game on 22 March 1989, between St. Louis Blues and Malarchuk's Buffalo Sabers, Steve Tuttle of The Blues and Uwe Krupp from Sabers fell hard into the goal during play. As they collide, the Tuttle skate knife hits the right side of the front of Malarchuk's neck, cutting his neck.
With blood spurting from Malarchuk's neck to the ice, he can leave the ice on his own feet with the help of his team's athletic coach, Jim Pizzutelli. Many spectators were physically ill by the sight. Excessive amounts of blood caused eleven fans to faint, two more suffered a heart attack and three players vomited on ice. The local television camera covering the game was cut from Malarchuk's bloody outlook after realizing what had happened, and broadcasters Sabres Ted Darling and Mike Robitaille were shaken out loud. In the production hall of a national cable show, a producer rolled the tape back to show the show to two other producers, who were equally horrified by the sight.
Malarchuk, meanwhile, believes he will die. "What I want to do is get out of the ice," Malarchuk said. "My mom is watching a game on TV, and I do not want her to see me die." Realizing that her mother had watched the game on TV, she called the equipment manager and told her that she loved him. Then he asked a priest.
The life of Malarchuk was rescued because of swift action by the team's athletic trainer, Jim Pizzutelli, a former Army combat officer on duty in Vietnam. He grabbed Malarchuk's neck and pinched the blood vessels, not releasing them until the doctors came to begin to stabilize his wound. The team of doctors leads the pair from the ice then apply extreme pressure by kneeling on the collarbone - a procedure designed to produce lower respiratory rate and lower metabolic state, which is better than ekssanguinasi. Malarchuk was conscious and spoke on the way to the hospital, and jokingly asked paramedics if they could take him back in time for the third period. The game resumes when league personnel receive news that the player is in stable condition.
Malarchuk lost 1.5 liters of blood. It took the doctor a total of 300 stitches to cover the six inch wound. He returned to the ice in ten days.
Malarchuk's appearance declined over the next few years, until he decided to leave the NHL. After this, he struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder (as he did since a young age), as well as nightmares and alcoholism, but he remains in pro hockey at the International Hockey League. After retiring as a player, Malarchuk continued as a coach.
On February 10, 2008, by chance again in Buffalo, Florida Panthers forward Richard ZednÃÆ'k suffered an injury similar to Malarchuk after the blade of Olli Jokinen's blade cut the front of ZednÃÆ'k's neck, injured his externally carotid artery, causing massive blood loss suddenly. Although initially he refused to see the recording, after seeing Malarchuk shocked, said that he did not think his memory of his own incident would return after 19 years. He sought treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder the following year.

Pro's career
In 1992-1993, Malarchuk was a goaltender for IHL San Diego Gulls and played in a championship league. The next season he became a starting goalender for the Las Vegas Thunder, appearing in 56 games and collecting 34-10-7 records. He was later hired as head coach of the team and assistant general manager. His back number was retired by the Thunder and hung on the ceiling of Thomas & amp; Mack Center.
Train a career
Malarchuk served as IHL Las Vegas Thunder head coach in the 1998-99 season and Steelheads Idaho until 2000. After that he became a goaltending coach for the NHL Florida Panthers during the 2002-03 season. He was signed as a goaltending coach for 2006-07 by Columbus Blue Jackets. In August 2010, Malarchuk agreed to become a goaltending consultant for Atlanta Thrashers. On June 17, 2011, Calgary Flames announced recruiting Malarchuk as their goaltender coach. On June 17, 2014, the Calgary Flames announced that they were split with Malarchuk and were looking for a new coach who scored. He has previously taken leave during the 2013-14 season to enter the National Hockey League substance abuse treatment program.
Gun incident
On October 7, 2008, Malarchuk suffered what, according to his wife, Joan, was a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his chin from a.22-caliber rifle at his residence in Fish Springs, Nevada after a period of stress and domestic problems. The incident was originally described as an accident while rabbit hunting, but both the goalkeeper and his wife have since admitted it was a suicide attempt. On October 10, 2008, The Douglas County, a Nevada sheriff's investigation concluded the shooting was unintentional in suspicious situations, but then Joan Malarchuk said he firmly told the sheriff that it was a suicide attempt "so he will get the help he needs".
Officers and paramedics at the scene reported that Malarchuk, who was bloody both from his mouth and chin, was uncooperative and refused treatment. Joan Malarchuk said she sat with her husband and comforted her because she was afraid he would attack again and was shot by police. Malarchuk was then flown to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno for treatment and released less than a week after the shooting. He then spent about 6 months in a rehabilitation hospital being treated for alcoholism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
The Canadian Press reports that Joan told authorities that her husband should not consume alcohol because he was taking prescription drugs for obsessive-compulsive disorder, but did so at the time of the shootings. Malarchuk later said he believed he was overmedicated dating back to when he was prescribed anti-psychotic tranquilizers while playing pro hockey in San Diego.
Personal life
After his playing career Malarchuk settled on a farm near Las Vegas, Nevada (later Gardnerville, Nevada) where he and his wife at the time raised three children. In mid-2000, he was certified as an animal technician and practiced as a horse dentist from his farm. Malarchuk is of Ukrainian descent.
A visiting photographer once had a flash camera that was stolen by emir Clint Malarchuk.
His nickname in hockey is "the Cowboy Goalie" because he is active in Calgary, Alberta's regional rodeo spots during off-season hockey. He is depicted riding a horse without a saddle in a newspaper photo on the front page while playing for the Capital of Washington, and he was then given a horse as a contractual bonus with Las Vegas Thunder. He also praised his cowboy upbringing for his toughness when he returned to play for Buffalo Sabers.
Malarchuk released an autobiography titled The Crazy Game in November 2014. In the United States, the book was published under the title A Matter Inches - How I Survived In The Fold And Overpass . This book appeared on the Toronto Star's bestseller list until January 2015 and was made into a documentary.
Upon release, Clint and Joan Malarchuk became public speakers on topics covered in this book such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, support for alcoholics in recovery, suicide prevention, and psychological trauma. On May 7, 2015, Malarchuk was a guest speaker at the Canadian Mental Health Assembly meeting in Oakville, Ontario. On August 1, 2015, Clint and Joan Malarchuk became keynote speakers at the OCD International Foundation conference in Boston, Massachusetts. They showed her sports injury video footage to the audience with the suggestion that it could potentially trigger uncomfortable people with images of blood and trauma.
