Kiefer Sherwood (born March 31, 1995) is an American professional ice hockey right winger for the Colorado Eagles in the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career[]
Sherwood was selected in the seventh-round, 99th overall, by the Youngstown Phantoms in the 2012 USHL Entry Draft.[1]
While Sherwood and his brother went undrafted to the NHL, they were both invited to the Columbus Blue Jackets 2015 development camp.[2] Leaving without a contract, Sherwood began his freshman season at Miami University.[3]
On March 20, 2018, Sherwood signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Anaheim Ducks as an undrafted free agent after playing three years of college hockey at Miami University.[3] Sherwood made the Ducks' 2018 opening night roster out of training camp.[4] He made his NHL debut on October 4, where he recorded his first career NHL point to help the Ducks beat the San Jose Sharks 5–2.[5] He recorded his first career NHL goal in a 5–3 loss to the Dallas Stars on October 13.[6]
As an impending restricted free agent following the conclusion of his entry-level deal, Sherwood was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Ducks and was released to free agency on October 9, 2020.[7] He was soon signed on the opening day of free agency on a one-year, two-way contract to join the Colorado Avalanche.[8]
Personal life[]
Sherwood was born to parents Roger and Yuko in Columbus, Ohio.[9] His younger brother Kole is a forward in the Ottawa Senators organization.[10]
