Harvey was born in Hamilton, Ontario and grew up in the small town of Sheffield, Ontario. He played his minor hockey for the Beverly Merchants of the OMHA before playing Jr.B. hockey at age 14 for the Cambridge Winterhawks. He spent two seasons playing Jr.B. in the OHA before being selected 1st overall in the 1991 OHL Priority Selection by the Detroit Jr. Red Wings of the OHL.

Although a first-round selection, Harvey was never able to live up to the offensive expectations that accompanied his draft position. His intense style of hockey and smallish frame lead to numerous injuries, and after three seasons in Dallas, and a brief stint with the New York Rangers, Harvey was dealt to the San Jose Sharks, where he played a key role as a checking forward and an agitator. In his fifth season with the Sharks, Harvey was sent to the minors, and allowed to leave as a free agent.

Harvey signed with the Edmonton Oilers just prior to the NHL lockout, and joined the team when the lockout ended. Harvey was part of the cinderella Edmonton Oiler team that made a run to the Stanley Cup Finals. However, the Oilers lost in game 7 of the finals to the Carolina Hurricanes. Harvey had 1 goal and 1 assist in the 2006 Stanley Cup playoffs. After that amazing cup run, Harvey was bought out of the rest of his contract along with backup goaltender Ty Conklin. Unlike Conklin, Harvey was unable to find a new team in the offseason and consequently retired in 2006.

In February 2007, Harvey joined the Dundas Real McCoys for one game.[2]

Harvey has served as an assistant coach for the OHL's Guelph Storm since August 2013.[3]
