It's really hard to gauge considering how weird his career was getting stuck long-term in crowded crease situations while the team was looking to make room for him, or hang onto him until they got the return they wanted. I chronicled this mess in a post in the HOH section:
Why did the Red Wings trade Mike Vernon after the 97 Cup Run?
He really only had two season where he had a measure-able work load:
-97/98: Where he finally got the #2 job in Detroit and ended the season with pretty good numbers for an NHL back up goalie
-99/00: Platooning for a dumpster fire Lightning team who's front office seemed to forget that they were no longer working for a Turner Cup contender. He was pretty much the worst goalie in the league that year.
I always thought Hodson was both one of the luckiest and unluckiest NHL players at the same time.
His name appears on the Cup twice and he's got two rings, with one of the seasons being one where he started 4 games and didn't even have to sit on the bench for a playoff game. He also had a pretty good gig in his final season... Having little competition for Tampa's back up job after 2 years of retirement where he eventually got to earn an NHL paycheck to start a game once a month for half a season.
I feel like Hodson could also hold some kind of oddball NHL record. Something like "Least amount of starts for a goalie that spent the majority of at least 5 seasons on an NHL roster" or "most X week long periods without starting or playing an NHL game while on an NHL roster".
