[edit] Playing career
Eager was drafted in the 1st round, 23rd overall by the Phoenix Coyotes in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. He was later traded by the Coyotes along with Sean Burke and Branko Radivojevic to the Philadelphia Flyers for center Mike Comrie.
The 2006–07 NHL season would see Eager lead the league in penalty minutes, even though he only played 63 games. That same season, he also won the Pelle Lindbergh Memorial as the Flyer who has most improved from the previous season, as voted by his teammates.
Ben Eager was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks on December 18, 2007 for Jim Vandermeer.
