Joshua Michael Brian Teves[1] (born February 18, 1995) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman currently playing for the Rochester Americans in the American Hockey League (AHL).

Playing career[]

Amateur[]

From 2011 to 2013, Teves played for the minor hockey for the Calgary Royals.[2] After graduating from West Island College, Teves played for the Fernie Ghostriders in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) during the 2013–14 season and committed to play NCAA Division 1 ice hockey at Princeton University for the Tigers men's ice hockey team.[3] He then joined the Merritt Centennials in the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) for the 2014–15 season, where he was awarded the Coach's Choice award and the Most Improved award.[4] Teves also became the first Centennial player to be awarded the RBC National Junior A Scholarship.[5]

For the 2015–16 season, Teves joined the Princeton Tigers. In his freshman season, he played 31 games and recorded 7 points. His offence picked up the following season, where he led Tiger defencemen in scoring with 25 points.[1] However, after advancing to the 2017 ECAC Hockey Men's Ice Hockey Tournament Quarterfinals, Princeton lost to Union College.[6] At the end of the season, Teves was selected for the first-team All-Ivy League[7] and was invited to the Calgary Flames' 2017 Development Camp.[8]

Teves returned to Princeton for his junior year, where he led all defencemen in scoring with 33 points.[1] Princeton once again qualified for the ECAC Tournament, where they defeated Clarkson University in a 2–1 overtime win to clinch an NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament spot for the first time since 2009.[9] Teves was named to the All-ECAC Hockey third-team, becoming the first Tigers defenceman since 2012 to win the honour,[10] and again selected as a first-team All-Ivy League.[11] However, the Tigers lost 4–2 against the Ohio State University in the first round.[12]

In his senior year, Teves was named to the ECAC Hockey Pre-Season All-League Team and selected as team captain.[13] That season, Teves led the team's defencemen in scoring as Princeton qualified for the 2019 ECAC Hockey Men's Ice Hockey Tournament.[14] He was also nominated for the Hockey Humanitarian Award for his community service work[15] and named a finalist for the 2018–19 Senior CLASS Award.[16] However, Princeton was swept by Brown University in the first round, effectively ending Teves' collegiate career.[14] On March 18, 2019, Teves was again selected for the All-ECAC Hockey third-team.[17]

Professional[]

On March 12, 2019, as an undrafted NHL free agent, Teves signed a one-year contract with the Vancouver Canucks.[14] He made his NHL debut on March 26 in Vancouver's 5–4 loss to the Anaheim Ducks.[18]

At the conclusion of his entry-level contract with the Canucks, having played in just one game in his tenure with the club, Teves was not tendered a qualifying offer and was released to free agency. On August 6, 2021, Teves was signed to a one-year AHL contract with the Rochester Americans, affiliate to the Buffalo Sabres.[19]

Personal life[]

Teves was born to Armando Teves, a teacher, and Phillippa Brain-Teves, a professor, on February 18, 1995; he has two siblings.[1] Teves attended school in Calgary at West Island College.[20]
