Hunt was signed as a free agent by Saskatchewan on May 17, 2002. His job was to replace departed linebacker George White (who had signed as a free agent with the Calgary Stampeders). He quickly solidified himself as a force in the Canadian Football League and was named a CFL All-Star in 2003, as well as a two-time CFL Western Division All-Star in 2004 and 2006. Hunt won a Grey Cup championship with the Roughriders in 2007. He once held the CFL record for most tackles in a single game (16).

On February 19, 2008, it was reported that he had signed with the Montreal Alouettes. Hunt dressed and played in 14 games with the Alouettes as well as the East Final and the 96th Grey Cup loss. After the Alouettes decided to start non-import Shea Emry at middle linebacker, he was released on June 25, 2009.
Hunt signed with the Edmonton Eskimos on September 25, 2009, reuniting him with former defensive coordinator Richie Hall, but was released the following offseason.
Hunt is the older brother of Aaron Hunt, a former defensive lineman in the CFL, having spent the majority of his six years in the league with the BC Lions (2006 - 2011). Hunt officially announced his retirement on October 26, 2011, by signing a one-day contract with the Saskatchewan Roughriders so he could retire as a Roughrider.
