Daniel "Dan" Hamhuis (born December 13, 1982 in Smithers , British Columbia ) is a former Canadian ice hockey player . The defender spent ten years in the organization of the Nashville Predators and was active six seasons for the Vancouver Canucks and two seasons for the Dallas Stars . In total, he played well over 1000 NHL games, with the Canucks in the 2011 playoffs reaching the final of the Stanley Cup . With the Canadian national team , he won gold medals at the 2014 Winter Olympics and at the 2007 and 2015 World Championships .
Career
Before Dan Hamhuis moved to the American Hockey League , he played for the Prince George Cougars from 1998 to 2002 . The 2001/02 season was his most successful, as he won the CHL Defenceman of the Year and Four Broncos Memorial Trophy awards . He was also appointed to the WHL West First All-Star Team in 2000/01 and 2001/02 . In the 2001 NHL Entry Draft , he was selected twelfth by the Nashville Predators .
After four seasons in the WHL, Hamhuis dared to join the Nashville Predators farm team , the Milwaukee Admirals . In his first season for the Admirals, he came in 60 games on six goals and 27 points. As a result, he was appointed to the NHL squad. In the 2003/04 season he played a total of 80 games for the Predators and ended up with seven goals and 26 points. Because of the lockout the following year, he played again for the Admirals in the AHL. This season he even made it into the Second All-Star Team and scored the second most points of all defenders in the AHL. In the 2005-06 season he played again for the Nashville Predators. This was his most successful season to date. Besides Paul Kariya , he was the only player who hadn't missed a single game of the season. He also set a new personal NHL record with 31 assists and 38 points. After that strong season, the Predators offered him a four-year $ 8 million deal , which Hamhuis signed in September 2006. In the two following seasons, Hamhuis could not quite build on its previously shown performance.
On June 19, 2010, shortly before Hamhuis' contract expired and he became an unrestricted free agent , the Nashville Predators gave his rights to the Philadelphia Flyers , who in return sent Ryan Parent to Nashville. Just a week later, the Flyers transferred his rights back to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a third-round vote in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft . However, he was unable to agree on a contract with either team, so he signed a new six-year contract for $ 27 million with the Vancouver Canucks on July 1, 2010 .
The six-year contract was not renewed by the Canucks after the 2015/16 season, so he joined the Dallas Stars as a free agent in July 2016 and signed a new two-year contract there. In Dallas, Hamhuis played his 1000th regular season game in the NHL during the 2017/18 season. He then returned to the Nashville Predators as a free agent in July 2018, where he also signed a two-year contract. After the 2019/20 season, Hamhuis declared his active career over. In total, he had played 1216 games in the regular season and playoffs. Hamhuis has been co-owner of his former junior team Prince George Cougars in the WHL since 2014.
International
Hamhuis was also able to celebrate successes on an international level. He won bronze in 2001 and silver in 2002 at the U20 Junior World Championships with Team Canada . In 2007 he was ice hockey world champion with Team Canada . In 2014 he was Olympic champion with the Canadian national team; he also won the gold medal again at the 2015 World Cup .
