[edit] NHL Career
Gino Odjick was drafted by the Vancouver Canucks in the fifth round (86th overall) in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft. His primary role with the Canucks was as an enforcer. For much of his time in Vancouver, he played on a line with the high scoring Pavel Bure. Gino was not put on Bure's line to score goals; he was put on Bure's line to protect him and create room on the ice. But when a player plays along side a superstar like Bure, he is bound to score a few goals along the way. In the 1993-94 NHL season, Odjick had a career high of 16 goals and 13 assists for 29 points. He played in a total of 8 season for the Canucks from 1990-91 to 1997-98. During six of those seasons, he had over 200 penalty minutes and thrice he had over 300. His sixth season (1997-98) with over 200 penalty minutes was split between the Canucks (181 penalty minutes in 35 games) and New York Islanders (31 in 13 games).
In the 1997-98 season, Odjick was traded to the New York Islanders and played there until 1999-00 when he was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers. He left Philadelphia during the 2000-01 for the Montreal Canadiens. His last NHL season was with Montreal in 2001-02.
