Much like many of the players that were with the Utica Devils in the late 80s, Huscroft had a tough time making a permanent
stay with the big club. In his case, hindsight being 20/20, it was harder to get in when the role he normally plays was normally
occupied by Ken Daneyko.
He probably even had less skills than Dano, if that's even possible. lol
He did rack up his share of PIMs with New Jersey, but the bulk of those that he earned while Devils' property was with Utica,
going over 300 twice and 200 4 times.
With his work ethic and physical play, patience would pay off finally when late in his stint with the Bruins, he would become a
regular NHLer. He would become a journeyman ultimately after leaving Boston for Calgary, as his stay with the Flames was
short, and had similar stays with Tampa Bay, Vancouver, Phoenix, and Washington. He would retire after 6 games in 00-01
with the Portland Pirates, the Caps' AHL affiliate at the time. It wasn't by his terms, though; he had suffered a concussion that he
wasn't able to fully recover from.
He had opened the Hockey Excellence school in the suburbs of Tacoma, Washington. He looks to become involved in
coaching or scouting in his post-playing days. In fact, he got a taste of that when he was an assistant for the Spokane Chiefs for
2 seasons in the middle of the 00s.
Entry Draft: 1985 Ninth Round Pick (171st overall) by the New Jersey Devils
