But already in his first season in the NHL Duchesne was appointed to the All-Star Rookie Team. This was the starting signal for a brilliant career as an offensive defender.

Duchesne left the Kings on May 30, 1991 for Philadelphia. Jari Kurri came to Los Angeles for him . But after just one season in Philly, Duchesne was given up to Quebec.

Back as a free agent with the Kings 1998/99 in Los Angeles, it was immediately passed on again: To Philadelphia. Eventually Duchesne settled down as well: After the 1998/99 season he went back to the Detroit Red Wings as a free agent, where he finally won the Stanley Cup in the last year of his career, 2001/02 . Duchesne ended his career on October 20, 2002.
