Andrew Ladd (born December 12, 1985) is a Canadian professional ice hockey winger and captain of the Winnipeg Jets of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was originally drafted in 2004 by the Carolina Hurricanes and won the Stanley Cup with them in 2006. He won the Stanley Cup a second time in 2010 with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Ladd began his junior hockey career in the Junior A British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) with the Coquitlam Express. He then progressed to the major junior Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Calgary Hitmen after being traded from the Vancouver Giants for Jamison Orr. He recorded 75 points in his rookie season, tops among first-year players and 15th in league scoring. His +39 plus/minus led the league, earning him the WHL Plus-Minus Award. In the off-season, Ladd was drafted in the first round, 4th overall by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.
Ladd turned pro after two seasons with the Hitmen in 2005–06 with the Lowell Lock Monsters, the Hurricanes' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate. He was called up to the Hurricanes in November, making his NHL debut, but soon suffered a knee injury in December which sidelined him until February. Ladd was assigned back to the Lowell Lock Monsters until March when he was recalled to join the Hurricanes for their playoff run. He contributed 5 points in 17 post-season games helping the Hurricanes to their first Stanley Cup championship.

Nothing More As the darkness pulls her down,
My sweet Ophelia sings nonsense most profound.
With her pretty words she soars the thoughts of men,
Even as she lies beneath the ground.
I heard you spread your flowers 'round the court,
Crying, like a violet, I had plucked you just for sport.
Dare you ask me to be true?
When all that I had left was you, You turned away, and shook me to the core.
My last hope for Pandora's race
Had left me with an empty place,
Forget-me-nots strewn all about the floor.
Now I ask your understanding, nothing more.
In this most disjointed time I pondered action in the recess of my mind.
Well it seems I'm beaten to the jump again.
Heaven make them pleasant dreams you find.
Oh, the wonders you may see,
If you heed my only prayer, you'll spare a word for me.
Ask your father- does he know,
That when we tumbled to and fro,
I meant each and every vow I swore?
But just like him, we all are doomed,
For in the end we're all consumed-
By madness, desire, By earth, and fire.
