From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dan Smith (born October 19, 1976 in Fernie, British Columbia) is a professional ice hockey defenceman. He was selected in the 7th round of the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, by the Colorado Avalanche. He recently signed a contract with the Detroit Red Wings.
[edit] Playing career
After completing his junior career with the Tri-City Americans of the WHL, Smith made his professional debut with the Hershey Bears, Colorado's AHL farm team. During his five years with the Colorado, Smith played only 15 games for Avalanche, with the bulk of his time being spent with the Bears.
After a year playing in Finland, and another year in the Phoenix Coyotes organization (playing for the AHL's Springfield Falcons), Smith signed with the Edmonton Oilers. Although mostly used as an AHL defenceman, Smith has seen time in the NHL when the Oilers suffered injuries on their blueline.
