Gonna take a stab and say Patrick Roy.

1. I played in the league for over a decade, spending time with only two teams. Montreal and Colorado.

2. I won multiple Stanley Cups. Check

3. I was drafted by an Original Six team. Habs

4. I am a part of a more modern business in my post-hockey career. Uber Eats commercial.

5. I was directly involved in an event that some have labelled as a contributor to the first Cup win I was a part of. The infamous telling Ronald Corey it's his last game in Montreal after being pulled late in a 9-1 loss.

I thought Roy too, but the last question doesn't line up - Roy calling his last game sent him to the Avs but he had already won two Cups with Montreal. Not sure if there is something about the '86 Montreal Cup win that lines up aside from Roy playing well

You can also note he took over the starter position and ended up with the Conn Smythe in 86. "The Trade" led to the first Cup for the Avalanche.

Brown, Andy (19 JUL 21)
1. My father also played in the NHL. (My father Adam was a LW for Detroit, Chicago and Boston between 1941 and 1952)

2. I am in the top ten all time for my season total in a specific statistic for my position. (Seventh overall for penalty minutes in a season for goalies)

3. While not the only player to ever __________ in the NHL, I was the last one to. (Play in goal maskless; 1974 with Pittsburgh)

4. I was a first team all-star in a season where I led in three statistical categories. (In the AHL in 1970-71 with the Baltimore Clippers, leading all goalies in Wins, Minutes Played, and Playoff Shutouts)

5. I also have ties to two other sports. (Raced cars part-time and bred racehorses)

Not Roy or Orr. A known player, but not as top tier as those two...
