Career
Youth and College
Hudock grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, attended Deer Valley High School, and played club soccer for a local team called Arsenal. He played college soccer at the University of Washington from 1991 to 1993, where he was named to the All American Second Team in 1992 and 1993.[1][2] He was also a member of the US soccer team at the 1991 World Student Games held in Sheffield.
Professional
In 1994, Hudock turned pro with A-league side Seattle Sounders of the American Professional Soccer League. Although he started six games his rookie season, he spent most of the 1995 season as backup to Marcus Hahnemann, but did go on to win the 1995 A-League title. On February 6, 1996, the Colorado Rapids drafted Hudock in the second round of the 1996 MLS Inaugural Player Draft. He began the season as the Rapids starter, but was replaced by Chris Woods, and returned to Seattle in 1997.
In April 1998, he went on loan with the Colorado Rapids.[3], while a late call-up during the playoffs by the Chicago Fire got Hudock an MLS championship ring as he was on the bench in the final.
During the time of the 1999 MLS draft it was presumed by many that Tampa Bay Mutiny would sign Hudock, but instead the team signed Scott Garlick. Dusty entered the MLS Draft and was picked up by the Miami Fusion. Hudock started the first three games of the season until usual starter Jeff Cassar returned from injury. Fusion waived Hudock, and he signed with the Charleston Battery on April 15, 1999. During his time at the Battery he won the USL1 in 2003, Battery MVP 02,03,04 Battery defender of the year in 01 and 02 and USL Goalkeeper of the year in 02.
In 2005 he left Charleston to join Rochester Raging Rhinos on a 1 year stint.[4] After the season ended he returned to Charleston, and remains Battery's first choice keeper and captain.
