This season was a big one for the Anaheim Ducks and for defenseman Ben Lovejoy.

He was added to the Ducks’ roster in the 2012-13 season and most of the fans in Anaheim were unaware of Lovejoy’s skills. While the transaction that brought him to the Ducks was not glorified, we had no idea what he would bring to the team.

In his own words he often mentions in interview how his previous team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, did not give him a large amount of ice time to prove himself. Bob Murray, GM for the Ducks, must have seen something in this defenseman to want to get him here.

This season he played the most games, scored the most goals and had one of the highest numbers of assists in his career.

Let’s delve into his stats for the year.
