[edit] Playing career

Hossa was drafted in the first round, 12th overall, by the Ottawa Senators in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft.[1] Early in his career he suffered a severe injury to his anterior cruciate ligament while playing in with the Portland Winter Hawks, but recovered.[citation needed]

Hossa joined the Senators full-time during the 1998-99 season and was the runner-up to the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year.[1]

In 2000, while playing for the Senators, Hossa accidentally clipped Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Bryan Berard in the eye and almost ended Berard's career, an incident that deeply affected Hossa.[citation needed]

On the morning of August 23rd, 2005 it was announced that he had signed a three year $18 million deal with the Senators; however, that afternoon he was traded to the Atlanta Thrashers along with defenceman Greg de Vries for star forward Dany Heatley. The trade resulted in Hossa's best season ever. He scored 39 goals and added 53 assists for 92 points, surpassing his previous career high by ten points.

Hossa has represented the Slovak National Hockey Team on numerous occasions including the Winter Olympics at Salt Lake City in 2002 and Winter Olympics at Torino in 2006. He also played for Team Slovakia in 1997, 1999, 2001, 2004, 2005 and 2006 World Ice Hockey Championships. His brother, Marcel Hossa, is a member of the New York Rangers.
