After spending three seasons with the Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), Jurcina began his American Hockey League (AHL) career with the Providence Bruins in the 2003–04 season and was brought into the main Boston Bruins roster during the 2005–06 season.
On February 1, 2007, Jurčina was traded to the Washington Capitals in exchange for a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2008.[2] He was later re-signed to a two-year deal by the Capitals on July 27, 2007.[3]
Jurčina, along with Capitals captain Chris Clark, were traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets on December 28, 2009, for winger Jason Chimera.[4]
Jurčina was selected to represent Slovakia in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, finishing fourth with his team.
At the trade deadline on March 3, 2010, Jurčina was traded back to the Washington Capitals for a conditional sixth-round draft pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.[5] Surgery to repair a sports hernia, however, prevented him from playing in the remainder of the 2009–10 season.
