Professional Career
During his time with the Chiefs, Duthie was selected twice in the NHL entry draft; first in 1992 by the New York Islanders 105th overall, and again in 1994 by the Calgary Flames, 91st overall.[2]
Upon being drafted by the Flames, he turned professional, reporting to the clubs affiliate team, the Saint John Flames of the AHL.

Following a recommendation from Los Angeles Kings head coach Andy Murray, Duthie moved to Great Britain to play for the London Knights, both owned by Anschutz Entertainment Group. After playing 21 games for the Knights, and, following disagreements with coach Chris McSorley, he was traded to the Manchester Storm in exchange for Rick Brebant.[3] Duthie returned to Merano for the 2000-01 season and stayed in Italy the following season, playing for HC Milano.
Duthie joined the WPHL's Fresno Falcons for the 2002-03 season and had a short stint with 2nd Bundesliga side EC Bad Nauheim. He returned to Serie A for the 2003-04 season, this time playing for the HC Pustertal, and finished his career with Oberliga side Heilbronner Falken.[2]
