Owen Fussey (born April 2, 1983) is a Canadian-British former professional ice hockey forward. He was selected 90th overall in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft by the Washington Capitals and played four games in the National Hockey League with them during the 2003–04 season. The rest of his career, which lasted from 2003 to 2015 was spent in the minor leagues and then in Europe. Internationally Fussey played for the British national team at the 2012 World Championship Division I tournament.

Playing career

Fussey was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He spent four seasons in the Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Calgary Hitmen and Moose Jaw Warriors before moving to the American Hockey League (AHL) in 2003. That same season he was called up to the National Hockey League (NHL) to play in four games for the Washington Capitals, in which he scored one point for an assist.

Fussey spent the next three seasons in the AHL, playing for the Portland Pirates, Hershey Bears (winning the Calder Cup in the 2005-06 season) and Toronto Marlies before moving to the ECHL in 2006, spending two seasons with the Columbia Inferno.

In 2008 Fussey moved to Europe to play in the Italian Serie A league for HC Fassa, and moved to Britain the following season with Edinburgh Capitals in the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL).[1]

In 2010 Fussey was signed by Coventry Blaze, the then-reigning Elite League champions.[2] In 2012, Fussey represented the Great Britain national team at the 2012 IIHF World Championship Division 1A.

After two years away from the game, Fussey returned in 2014 to sign for the Guildford Flames of the second-tier English Premier Ice Hockey League. He played 19 games for Guildford before he was released in December of the same year.
