[edit] Playing career
He was drafted 21st overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2002 Entry Draft. He was traded to the Hurricanes in January 2006 for Danny Richmond, where he won the Stanley Cup later in 2006.
Babchuk scored his first goal for the Hurricanes on January 28, 2006. He was also named second star of the game. He was +1 for the contest, with 1 goal and 2 penalty minutes. On February 6, 2007 the Hurricanes activated Frantisek Kaberle from injury, forcing them to send Babchuk down to the Albany River Rats. Babchuk was the only possible defenceman they could send down because he was the only one on the Hurricanes' roster that was on a two-way contract. The next day Carolina announced that they had suspended Babchuk because of his refusal to report to Albany.
