18 – Garry Valk (1993-97)

Honorable Mention Drew Miller (2007-2009) – The younger brother of current Anaheim Ducks goalie Ryan Miller was drafted by the organization in the 2003 Entry Draft’s sixth round. He played the first two of a 10-year career in Anaheim, proving to be a reliable defensive forward.

Garry Valk was an original Mighty Duck. After being claimed on waivers from Vancouver, prior to the start of the 2003-04 season, he played in 246 games for the club through February of 2007. By far his best season was his first. That year he had 45 points (18g, 27a) in 78 games.

Since his retirement in 2003, Valk has kept himself quite busy. Aside from coaching his son’s junior hockey team, and doing some broadcasting, he runs a real estate business in North Vancouver. He was even featured in Canadian Business Magazine as an athlete that has gone on to be successful after their career had ended.
