Smith played major junior in the WHL for four seasons with the Spokane Chiefs and Swift Current Broncos. Despite a team-leading 96 points, fifth in league scoring, in his draft year, he was a late selection in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft, being selected 272nd overall by the Vancouver Canucks.

Smith turned pro in 2002–03, joining the Columbia Inferno of the ECHL. After a 59-point rookie campaign with the Inferno, he reeled off 95 points in 2003–04 to win the league scoring championship.^[2] His success in the ECHL was met with playing time in the AHL, as he split the following season between the Inferno and Manitoba Moose.
