Kevin Bieksa (born on June 16, 1981 in Grimsby, Ontario, Canada) is a National Hockey League defenceman for the Vancouver Canucks.
He played 4 years of college hockey at Bowling Green University. After his freshman year he was drafted by the Canucks with the 151st pick in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft. After his college career was over, he made his professional debut with the Manitoba Moose late in the 2003-04 season. In the 2004-05 season he played the entire year with the Moose, playing in 80 games and registering 39 points. In the 2005-06 year he once again began the season with the Moose, but after a solid start he was called up by the Canucks in December.
