Bieksa played the entire 2004-2005 season with the Moose and was named to the American Hockey League 2005 All-Rookie team. After starting the next season in the AHL, Bieksa was called up by the Canucks in December 2005 and has remained a full time NHL player since.At the conclusion of his first full NHL season in 2006-2007, Bieksa had the most points and penalty minutes of all Canucks' defensemen.
