An alternate captain for the National Hockey League’s St. Louis Blues, David Anthony Backes was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.  He had contributed much to the Blues’ success by leading them to several wins. It was in the later phase of 2006 that Backes got his first opportunity to prove himself with the Blues playing against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He coordinated with Doug Weight during that shift in the NHL, directing through a fantastic win. A year after, David Backes got to the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Championship under Team USA.  The said event was held in Moscow, Russia.

Later on, he was established as an All-Conference finalist and at the same time was hailed as the year’s Mr. Hockey of Minnesota in 2002. He got his break in the NHL when he got picked during the 2003 Entry Draft.

This served as an official agreement between Backes and the Blues extending his tenure that could last up to 2016.
