Eleven-year NHL veteran Kevin Weekes posted a .920 save percentage overall this season with the New Jersey Devils. He marked his 100th career NHL regular season victory after 25 saves over the New York Islanders on November 21, 2008. Weekes is only the seventh player to see action with the Devils, New York Rangers and New York Islanders. In 2002, he helped lead the Carolina Hurricanes to the Stanley Cup Final with team record two shutouts in the Playoffs, and also recorded the highest save percentage in the Playoffs in Hurricanes history.

In addition to his accomplishments on the ice, Weekes is also committed to several charitable youth initiatives around the globe. In 2003, Weekes created the annual Kevin Weekes Celebrity Charity Golf Classic, now hosted each July in his parent’s native land of Barbados. In 2009, the event will raise proceeds for two unique initiatives: Sky’s The Limit, a Toronto based organization that provides computers to benefit students in under-resourced communities by providing them with refurbished computers in their homes; and The Phoenix Academy of Barbados, a community based institution with a focus on the total development of boys aged 8-17, with academic, sports and musical components.
