neighborhood, where he initially played roller hockey using a roll of electrical tape for a puck. He moved to Boston College
on a partial hockey scholarship in 1975 (he had to pay $700 out of his own pocket in his first year), which became a full scholarship in his second year thanks to his exploits as a star forward for the Boston College Eagles
men's hockey team. Mullen made his international debut with the United States national team at the 1979 World Ice Hockey Championships
tournament in Moscow immediately after his college career had ended. He scored seven goals in eight games for Team USA.
, he opted to sign a free agent contract with the St. Louis Blues
rather than join the eventual 'Miracle on Ice
' team for the 1980 Winter Olympics
since his father was ill and Mullen's family needed the money. Joe Mullen's first professional season was spent in the minors with the Blues' top farm team, the Salt Lake Golden Eagles
, where he was voted Central Hockey League Rookie of the Year. He also made his NHL debut for St. Louis, appearing in one game of the 1980 Stanley Cup
playoffs. The next season was also spent in the minors, as Mullen won the CHL scoring championship and was named to the CHL First All-Star Team.
Mullen finally became an NHL regular in 1981–82, when he scored 59 points in 45 games for the Blues. He was traded to the Calgary Flames
in 1986 where he enjoyed some of his best seasons, playing in the 1989 and 1990 NHL All-Star Game as well as being named to the league First All-Star Team
in 1989 (he also was the NHL plus/minus leader that season). He also won his first Stanley Cup as a member of the Flames in 1989
. In 1990, the Flames traded him to the Pittsburgh Penguins
for a second-round draft pick, reasoning that at age 33, Mullen would soon be a spent force. He was an important performer on the Pens' Stanley Cup-winning teams of 1991
and 1992
. During his time in Pittsburgh, Mullen also played in the 1994 NHL All-Star Game. Mullen spent the 1995–96 season with the Boston Bruins
as a free agent before returning to play his final NHL season in Pittsburgh in 1996–97.
Mullen played for Team USA at the 1984
, 1987
and 1991 Canada Cup
tournaments. He also won the Lester Patrick Trophy
in 1995 in recognition for his service to American hockey. Mullen retired in 1997 as the first the American born NHL player to score 500 goals (502). Mullen was also the first American to reach 1,000 total career points (eventually reaching 1,063), a feat that has been equaled by only six other Americans. Mullen was the all-time leader in goals scored by a player born and trained in the United States at the time of his retirement. Three players (Mike Modano, Keith Tkachuk and Jeremy Roenick) have since surpassed Mullen in career goals.
