After a respectable first season in which he was considered a contender for the CCHA All-Rookie Team, Horcoff improved his numbers as a sophomore in 1997–98, despite playing in fewer games than the year before. This led to him being drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft. The following season, 1998–99, Horcoff again improved his totals with the Spartans, and was named to the CCHA All-Academic Team at season’s end.
Horcoff, 37, is playing his first season in Anaheim. He spent the first 12 years of his career with the Edmonton Oilers before a two-year stint with the Dallas Stars.
In February 2008, Horcoff underwent shoulder surgery, ending his 2007–08 season. On July 16, 2008, the Oilers announced that Horcoff had been signed to a six-year, $33-million contract extension. He would see action in 80 games during the 2008–09 season, scoring 17 goals and 36 assists.
On October 6, 2010, Shawn Horcoff was named the 13th captain in Edmonton Oilers’ history, succeeding Ethan Moreau, who had departed the team for the Columbus Blue Jackets in the previous off-season.
On March 3, 2011, Horcoff recorded his 400th career point, tallying two assists in a 4–2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The veteran forward has spent most of his time in the Ducks’ bottom six. He’s tallied 10 points (six goals and four assists) in 45 games while averaging just over 13 minutes and 30 seconds in ice time.
