Kevin Weekes (born 4 April 1975 in Toronto) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender of Bajan descent, currently playing for the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League.
Kevin's career started with the Owen Sound Platers of the Ontario Hockey League. He also had a brief stint with the Ottawa 67's.
Chosen 41st overall by the Florida Panthers in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft, he joined the team for the 1997-98 season, going 0-5-1 in 11 appearances for the Panthers. The following summer he was traded to the Vancouver Canucks in a trade for Pavel Bure and compiled a 6-15-5 record in 31 appearances over a season and a half before being traded to the New York Islanders halfway through the 1999-2000 season. At the conclusion of that season he was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he played until late in the 2001-02 season when he was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes.
He played in a tandem with Arturs Irbe, helping lead the Hurricanes to the 2002 Stanley Cup Finals while recording two shutouts in the playoffs, establishing a Hurricanes team record.
He signed with the New York Rangers as a free agent prior to the 2004-05 NHL lockout, winning his first start with the Rangers on 5 October 2005 in a game against the Philadelphia Flyers. He became an unrestricted free agent following a less than stellar 2006-07 season. On July 5, 2007 he signed with the New Jersey Devils to serve as a backup to Martin Brodeur.
His parents emigrated from Barbados.
