Kevin Weekes

Kevin Weekes made his NHL debut during the 1997-1998 season playing for the Florida Panthers. Weekes bounced around the league between 3 teams over the next 4 years until he landed with the Carolina Hurricanes from 2001-2004. After spending 3 years playing in Raleigh, North Carolina, Kevin Weekes joined the New York Rangers at the age of 30.

During his two seasons with the New York Rangers, Weekes played in 46 games and posted an 18-20-5 record. The former 2nd round pick posted a .890 save percentage and a 3.08 goals against average which is nothing to write home about during his two seasons in a New York Rangers sweater.

The Rangers didn’t bring Weekes back after the 2006-2007 season and he went on to play two more seasons in the NHL with the New Jersey Devils before hanging up the skates.
