Trevor Kidd: A Hockey Journey

Early Hockey Days

Trevor Kidd spent most of his junior hockey career with the Brandon Wheat Kings. They are a team in the Western Hockey League (WHL). In the 1989–90 season, he was a top player. He was named a WHL East First Team All-Star. He also won the Del Wilson Trophy as the WHL's best goalie. Plus, he earned the CHL Goaltender of the Year award for all of Canadian junior hockey.

In 1991, Trevor joined the Spokane Chiefs. He helped them win the Memorial Cup championship. This is a huge trophy for junior hockey teams. Trevor also played for Team Canada three times. He won gold medals at the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in 1990 and 1991. He also won a silver medal at the 1992 Winter Olympics. He was the backup goalie for the national team.

Playing in the NHL

Trevor Kidd played his first NHL game in the 1991–92 season. This was with the Calgary Flames. His first game was a loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins in March 1992. His second game that season was a win against the San Jose Sharks.

Kidd became a full-time player for the Flames in the 1993–94 season. He played 31 games as a backup goalie. He stayed with the Flames until the 1996–97 season. Before the 1997–98 season, he was traded. He went to the Carolina Hurricanes. He played two years there.

After that, Trevor was picked by the Atlanta Thrashers in a special draft. But he was immediately traded to the Florida Panthers. He started strong with the Panthers in the 1999–2000 season. However, he got injured during a skills competition. This injury caused the team to make some trades. When he came back, he couldn't get his starting spot back. The Panthers had a new young goalie, Roberto Luongo.

Trevor then signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2002. He played for them for two seasons. His final NHL game was a loss to the Philadelphia Flyers.

During an NHL lockout, Trevor played in Sweden for team HC Örebro 90. In 2005, he signed with the Hannover Scorpions in Germany. He finished his playing career there.
