In his sophomore year, Hilber was named an AHCA West First-Team All-American and All-CCHA First Team. On July 9, 2001, Hilbert chose to conclude his collegiate career and turn professional.

On February 9, 2005, Hilbert was named to the AHL All-Star Classic as a replacement for Thomas Vanek. [4]

In November 2005, Hilbert was traded by the Bruins to the Chicago Blackhawks for a 5th round selection in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. [5] In the same season he was claimed off waivers by the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 9, 2006. [6]

On July 4, 2006, Hilbert was signed as a free agent to a one-year contract with the New York Islanders. [7] Hilbert produced a career high 28 points in his first full season in the NHL with the Islanders in 2006-07, and was subsequently rewarded with a two-year contract extension on July 3, 2007.[ citation needed ]
