Career
Eric Hunter began his career as a hockey player in the Canadian Junior Western Hockey League , in which he was active from 2002 to 2007 for the Prince George Cougars . During this time he was also drafted twice by an NHL team; 2004 from the Chicago Blackhawks and 2006 from the New York Rangers . However, he did not succeed in jumping into the best league in the world.
In the following years Hunter played for the University of Alberta in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport . He then got a contract with the Lake Erie Monsters , the Colorado Avalanche farm team from the American Hockey League . In the 2012/13 season Hunter completed 11 games for the Oklahoma City Barons . After this brief guest appearance, he went to Stockton Thunder from ECHL , where he played a point-rich season.
For the 2013/14 season, Hunter moved to Europe for the first time when the Herning Blue Fox from Denmark signed Hunter. After 15 games, however, Hunter moved to Austria to EC VSV , where he was also under contract for the 2014/15 season and also played in the 2015/16 squad, most recently as captain of the team. Due to his consistent performance and flexibility, Hunter received a contract extension for the 2016/17 season.
In March 2017 Hunter ended his career after four seasons in Villach.
