During his career he played for the New York Islanders , San Jose Sharks , Chicago Blackhawks , Montréal Canadiens , Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers in the National Hockey League . He is currently the goalkeeping coach for the Colorado Avalanche .

Career

Hackett first played for two years from 1986 to 1988 in the Ontario Hockey League with the Oshawa Generals . He represented them in his rookie season in the final of the Memorial Cup , the championship of the Canadian junior leagues . At the end of the season he was also with the FW "Dinty" Moore Trophy for rookie goalkeeper with the least Gegentorschnitt and Dave Pinkney Trophy awarded to the goalkeeper of the team with the least Gegentorschnitt and was in the 1987 NHL Entry Draft in the second round at 34 Position selected by the New York Islanders . The Canadian remained, however, another season in the OHL and took part with the junior national team in the Junior World Championship in 1988 , where he secured the gold medal with the team.

For the season 1988/89 Hackett signed his first professional contract with the Islanders, where he initially guarded the gate in the American Hockey League - farm team , the Springfield Indians . During the season, however, he was appointed to the NHL squad New York and came to his first 13 missions. The following season the goalkeeper remained completely in the AHL with the Indians, which he led, after a mixed regular season, in the playoffs to win the Calder Cup . He was honored for his achievements with the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy . At the beginning of the 1990/91 game year Hackett got the place of the back-up behind goalkeeper Glenn Healy and came to 30 season appearances before he was selected in the 1991 NHL Expansion Draft by the newly formed San Jose Sharks . There he shared the regular place with Jarmo Myllys and Artūrs Irbe in the following two years , but disappointed across the board as he was not sure of support for the weak team and could only win 13 of 78 games. Therefore, he was transferred to the Chicago Blackhawks in the summer of 1993 and was mostly in the shadow of Ed Belfour , whose regular place he took over during the 1996/97 season . After he had represented the Canadian national team at the 1998 World Cup , he went with the Blackhawks in his sixth and final season, since he was part of a six-player transfer deal with the Montreal Canadiens in November 1998 . There he again held the regular position in goal before he injured his hand at the beginning of the 2000/01 season and finally lost his regular place to José Théodore . Until the 2002/03 season , the Canadian was content with the place as a back-up. In January 2003, however, he was first given to Niklas Sundström to his old team, the San Jose Sharks, who sent him to the Boston Bruins that same day together with Jeff Jillson in exchange for Kyle McLaren . Hackett only played 21 games for the Bruins, as he did not renew his expiring contract and went to the Philadelphia Flyers as a free agent . There he started the season with strong performances, which waned significantly over the course of the season. On January 22, 2004, after his 500th game in the NHL, he was diagnosed with dizziness and impaired balance. As a result, he retired on February 9, 2004, after having tested three days earlier on the Flyers farm team again to see if he could play symptom-free.

On July 12, 2006 Hackett began his career as a goalkeeping coach when he signed a contract with the Colorado Avalanche .
