The shortest player in the NHL now is Brian Gionta, the 5 '7" right wing and captain of the Montreal Canadiens.

Other players that are not tall in stature are Steve Sullivan, the 5'8" left wing and alternate captain of the Nashville Predators and Marty St. Louis at 5'9", right winger and alternate captain of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Jason Blake, a forward for the Anaheim Ducks is 5'-10".

The shortest player that usually comes to mind is 5'6" Theoren (Theo) Fleury. He played in the NHL from 19882003.

The shortest player to ever play in the NHL was Roy (Shrimp) Worters. The 5'3" goaltender played in 484 games from 1925 until 1937. He played for Pittsburgh, the New York Americans and the Montreal Canadiens.

The average height of an NHL player is 6' 1 1/2". The shortest team is the New York Islanders with an average height per player of 6' 1/2".
