Douglas Daniel Weight (born January 21, 1971) is an American professional ice hockey coach, executive, and former player.

[citation needed] During that time, high school hockey was not considered to be competitive enough in the Detroit, Michigan area.

[citation needed] Weight followed in the footsteps of several other Detroit-area players by playing in the NAJHL, including Pat Lafontaine and Mike Modano.

He played 65 games with the Rangers in his first full NHL season, 1992–93, before being traded to the Edmonton Oilers for forward Esa Tikkanen.

It was as an Oiler that he earned his reputation as a premier playmaker, leading Edmonton to five consecutive playoff appearances and scoring a personal-best 104 points during the troubled 1995–96 season.

Due to Edmonton's precarious financial situation, Weight was traded on July 1, 2001, to the St. Louis Blues, along with Michel Riesen, for forwards Marty Reasoner and Jochen Hecht and defenseman Jan Horáček.

[14] With the Blues out of contention for the playoffs for the third season in a row, Weight was traded to the Anaheim Ducks for center Andy McDonald on December 14, 2007.

[19] Despite missing a large portion of the season to various injuries and scoring 1 goal in 36 games, Weight was signed to a one-year extension with the Islanders on August 31, 2010.
