Kent Huskins (born May 4, 1979 in Almonte, Ontario)
is a Canadian ice hockey defenceman who currently
plays for the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey
League.
Before making his NHL debut with the Ducks in 2006,
he played five seasons in the AHL. He was drafted
156th overall in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft by the
Chicago Blackhawks, and played for Norfolk, San
Antonio, and Manitoba of the AHL before joining the
Ducks' AHL affiliate, the Portland Pirates, in 2005.
He also played four seasons at Clarkson University.
In his senior year, Huskins was an NCAA East First
Team All-American and a finalist for the Hobey Baker
Award.
Huskins made his NHL debut on December 23, 2006 when
the Ducks played the Phoenix Coyotes. Kent was
recalled from Portland to fill a gap in the Anaheim
defensive corps caused by an injury to Sean
O'Donnell, and then later to Chris Pronger. He was
sent back down a month later, but called up for good
when the Ducks dealt Shane O'Brien at the trade
deadline. He won the Stanley Cup with the Anaheim
Ducks in 2007.
On October 15 2007, Huskins scored his first career
goal in a game versus the Detroit Red Wings.
