Kevin D. Wortman After spending three seasons at USA International University, Wortman began his professional hockey career with the Calgary Flames' affiliate team in the IHL, the Salt Lake Golden Eagles. The recipient of the Ken McKenzie Trophy for Outstanding American-Born Rookie in 1991-92, Wortman finished fourth in team scoring during his rookie year. Even with a successful rookie season in the IHL, Wortman was still back with Salt Lake for the 1992-93 season, once again finishing fourth in team scoring with 63 points and being selected to the IHL Second All-Star Team. Although he spent the better part of the 1993-94 season leading the AHL's Saint John Flames defensemen in scoring, Wortman made his NHL debut during the '93-'94 season, playing in five games with Calgary, while registering no points. In the summer of 1994, Wortman signed as a free agent with the San Jose Sharks where he joined their IHL affiliate, the Kansas City Blades, for the 1994-95 season. Spending only one season in Kansans City, Wortman joined the Fort Wayne Komets in 1995-96 before heading to Finland for the next three years and to Germany for the 1999-2000 season.
