During this time he was selected in the NHL Entry Draft in 2002 in the second round than a total of 37 players from the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.

On 6 July 2009, Tim Brent signed a one-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. In his first season he came only to use one for the Maple Leafs in the NHL since Brent had to struggle with injury problems.
