Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te tuatahi i tuhi 72 i te 1996 NHL Entry Draft na te Pittsburgh Penguins, kaore a Pittsburgh i whakaae ki a Kane mo tetahi kirimana. I uru anō ia ki te kaupapa i te tau
1998 a i tohua e nga Rangers o New York 114th katoa. I wehewehe ia i ana wa tuatahi e toru ngaio i waenga i te Hartford Wolf Pack o te American Hockey League me te Charlotte Checkers o te ECHL i mua i te whiwhi i tetahi waahi wa-katoa me Hartford i te 2001-02. I mua i te tau 2002-03, heoi, i whakawhitihia ia ki te Tampa Bay Lightning mo Gordie Dwyer, ka noho i te wa ki nga Springfield Falcons.
