He was drafted #10th overall in the 1st round of the 1993 WHL Bantam Draft by the Portland Winter Hawks of the Western Hockey League. He spent 4 seasons(1994-1998) playing junior hockey for the Portland Winter Hawks while in high school. His fourth and final season in Portland was the 1997-98 campaign where Joey was assigned team Captain and helped lead the team to win the 1998 Memorial Cup Championship. He made his National Hockey League debut for the Panthers during the 2000–01 NHL season and went on to play 69 games over three seasons before he was traded to the Ottawa Senators for Simon Lajeunesse.
