Playing career

Wallin's career began in the WHL playing for the Red Deer Rebels. From 1994 to 1998 he helped this team to the playoffs three times with his solid defensive skills. In 1996 he was taken 1st (26th overall) by the Detroit Red Wings in the NHL Draft, then returned to the WHL and went on to be named the CHL Humanitarian of the Year in 1997. Wallin was a two time member of Team Canada at the World Junior Championships, winning gold in 1997 and captaining the team in 1998. Wallin received the Doug Wickenheiser Memorial Trophy back-to-back in 1996–97 and 1997–98 for being the WHL's Humanitarian of the Year, particularly for his efforts in raising the profile of mental health.

Wallin made his professional debut with the American Hockey League's (AHL) Adirondack Red Wings in 1998–99 and spent the majority of his first three professional seasons in the AHL, the final two with the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks. He made his NHL debut during the 1999–2000 season and joined the Red Wings during their 2001-02 Stanley Cup championship season playing only 15 games due to injuries. He was awarded a Stanley Cup ring, but didn't play enough games to get his name on the Stanley Cup.

After five seasons with the Red Wings, Wallin signed as a free agent with the Calgary Flames in the summer of 2003 and was sent back down the AHL to play for the Lowell Lock Monsters. In his first game, he suffered a concussion and was forced to retire as a result of this injury.
