Chosen in the third round of the 1979 NHL Entry Draft by the Atlanta Flames, Hunter went on to a 16-season playing career with the Flames, Quebec Nordiques, Vancouver Canucks, and San Jose Sharks.
Hunter was on the Flames' 1989 Stanley Cup championship team, and also appeared in the Stanley Cup Final in 1986 with Calgary, and in 1994 with Vancouver. During his playing days, Hunter was known for his fierce style, ranking him among hockey's unwritten list of elite enforcers during the 1980s and 1990s. He also was a quality defensive player and penalty-killer.
