Damian Rhodes was an NHL player drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 6th round of the 1987 Entry Draft, 112th overall. He played one game in the 1991-92 season, then served as backup from the 1993-94 season to 1995-96 before being traded in a three-way deal that sent Kirk Muller to the Maple Leafs, Martin Straka and Bryan Berard to the New York Islanders and Wade Redden along with Rhodes to the Ottawa Senators on January 23, 1996.

Rhodes is also one of only 9 goalies to score a goal, managing the task without taking a shot. Rhodes was the last player to touch the puck on a delayed penalty call when the New Jersey Devils inadvertently scored an own goal with Martin Brodeur out of the net for an extra attacker in Ottawa's 6-0 victory on January 2, 1999.

Rhodes was traded on June 18, 1999 to the Atlanta Thrashers for future considerations. He played his last game in the NHL for Atlanta in the 2001-02 season.
