Timeline

1971

Douglas Daniel Weight (born January 21, 1971) is an American professional ice hockey coach, executive and former player.

He is also the former head coach and assistant general manager for the New York Islanders.

During his 19-year National Hockey League career, he played for the New York Rangers, Edmonton Oilers, Carolina Hurricanes, Anaheim Ducks, St. Louis Blues and the New York Islanders.

1983

As a youth, Weight played in the 1983 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the Detroit Compuware minor ice hockey team.

1989

He graduated in 1989 from Notre Dame High School in Harper Woods, Michigan.

He was drafted by the Bloomfield Jets of the North American Junior Hockey League (now known as the NAHL).

During that time, high school hockey was not considered to be competitive enough in the Detroit, Michigan area.

Weight followed in the footsteps of several other Detroit-area players by playing in the NAJHL, including Pat LaFontaine and Mike Modano.

Weight led the NAJHL in scoring, and was recruited by Lake Superior State University.

Weight played two years in the NCAA with LSSU from 1989 to 1991.

1990

He was drafted by the New York Rangers in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft with their second pick, 34th overall.

1991

After completing his second year with his college team, he played a single playoff game with the Rangers in 1991, then split time between the Rangers and their AHL affiliate the Binghamton Rangers.

1992

He played 65 games with the Rangers in his first full NHL season, 1992–93, before being traded to the Edmonton Oilers for forward Esa Tikkanen.

1993

He made 3 World Championship appearances for the United States in 1993, 1994 and 2005.

1994

Weight played eight and a half seasons with the Oilers, secluding a stint with SB Rosenheim of the German Elite League (DEL) during the shortened 1994–95 NHL season, serving as their captain from 1999 to 2001.

1995

It was as an Oiler that he earned his reputation as a premier playmaker, leading Edmonton to five consecutive playoff appearances and scoring a personal-best 104 points during the troubled 1995–96 season.

2001

Due to Edmonton's precarious financial situation, Weight was traded on July 1, 2001, to the St. Louis Blues, along with Michel Riesen, for forwards Marty Reasoner and Jochen Hecht and defenseman Jan Horáček.

2004

Weight spent the next three seasons with the Blues before returning to the DEL, due to the 2004 NHL Lockout, to play in the final stages of the 2004–05 season with the Frankfurt Lions.

2006

Upon the resumption of the NHL in the 2005–06 season, Weight returned to the weakened Blues before he was traded after waiving a no-trade clause, along with the rights to Erkki Rajamaki, to the Carolina Hurricanes for Jesse Boulerice, Mike Zigomanis, the rights to Magnus Kahnberg and draft picks on January 30, 2006.

In the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals against his former team the Oilers, Weight and the Hurricanes suffered a huge blow during Game 5, when he was sandwiched heavily along the boards by Raffi Torres and Chris Pronger in the second period of the game, which the Oilers won 4–3 in overtime on June 14, 2006.

Weight missed the remainder of the Finals with a shoulder injury.

His place in roster went to Erik Cole.

The Carolina Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup in 7 games.

Weight then returned to the Blues as a free agent, signing a two-year contract on July 2, 2006.

During the 2006–07 season, Weight played his 1,000th game against the Edmonton Oilers on November 17, 2006.

2009

On January 2, 2009, Weight registered his 1,000th point while playing for the Islanders, with an assist on a goal scored by Richard Park.

Weight re-signed with the Islanders for the 2009–10 season.

For his contributions to the community during the Islanders 2009-10 training camp held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, the baseball diamond at Wallace Park in Saskatoon was named in Weight's honor.

He succeeded former longtime Oiler teammate, Bill Guerin, as captain of the Islanders on October 2, 2009.
