Adam Gaudette
Adam Gaudette (born October 3, 1996) is an American professional ice hockey player who is a center for the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League (NHL). He previously played for the Vancouver Canucks, Chicago Blackhawks, Ottawa Senators and St. Louis Blues. Gaudette played college ice hockey for the Northeastern Huskies of the NCAA, where he won the Hobey Baker Award, Hockey East Player of the Year, and was named to the AHCA East First-Team All-American. Selected by the Vancouver Canucks in the 2015 NHL entry draft, Gaudette made his NHL debut with the team in 2018.
Gaudette was born on October 3, 1996, in Taunton, Massachusetts, to Tara, an elementary school instructional coach, and Doug Gaudette, a firefighter. He came from an athletic family: his mother played softball for Taunton High School, once holding the single-season home run record, while his father's high school athletic career ended after a dirt bike accident shattered his patella. Gaudette played a number of sports, including lacrosse and baseball, but his favorite was ice hockey. In sixth grade, Gaudette was admitted to Thayer Academy to join their hockey team, and his family moved from Taunton to Braintree, Massachusetts, to accommodate his commute to and from the skating rink. There, he was coached by former National Hockey League (NHL) player Tony Amonte. Although he lost most of his first two high school ice hockey seasons to injuries, as a junior, Gaudette recorded 67 points in 27 games. Around this same time, he played minor ice hockey for the Boston Advantage of the Tier 1 Elite Hockey League.
In the 2013–14 season, Gaudette scored 29 goals in 27 games at Thayer Academy. In 2014, he committed to playing for Northeastern University of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Skating as a freshman for the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders of the United States Hockey League, Gaudette scored 13 goals and 17 assists for 30 points in 41 games. In the 2014–15 season, Gaudette moved to Northeastern to commence his college hockey career. In 41 games with the Northeastern Huskies, Gaudette recorded 12 goals and 30 points. The following season in 2015–16, Gaudette was promoted to the second line and the second power play unit after an injury to Kevin Roy. In his new position alongside Dylan Sikura, his scoring improved, marking 26 goals and 52 points in 37 games. In March 2016, he tallied a goal and an assist against Boston College to propel Northeastern to the Hockey East Championship.
In 2017 he was called a "first-rate prospect," ranking first in NCAA power-play goals with 14 and third in points after 31 games and in the top 10 nationally. Pierre McGuire described him as "the steal of the 2015 draft." During the 2017–18 season Gaudette recorded career highs in goals and assists while leading the Huskies to their first Beanpot championship in 30 years. During the 66th Beanpot Final, Gaudette recorded a hat trick to help Northeastern beat Boston University 5–2. He earned the Most Outstanding Player for his efforts. He finished the 2017–18 season first in the NCAA with 60 points. At the end of the season, Gaudette won Hockey East Player of the Year and was awarded the Hockey East Scoring Champion title. He was also named to the First All-Star Team. On April 6, 2018, Gaudette was announced as the Hobey Baker Award winner. He was also named an AHCA East First-Team All-American along with teammates Dylan Sikura and Jérémy Davies.
The Vancouver Canucks of the NHL selected Gaudette in the fifth round, 149th overall, of the 2015 NHL entry draft after acquiring the pick from the New York Rangers in exchange for defenseman Raphael Diaz. Gaudette signed an entry-level contract with the Canucks on March 26, 2018, and made his NHL debut on March 29, in a game against the Edmonton Oilers. As the Canucks failed to make the post season, he only appeared in five games, going scoreless.
After attending Canucks training camp prior to the 2018–19 season, Gaudette was reassigned to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Utica Comets. However, his stint in the AHL did not last long as he was called up to the NHL on October 15 after playing in four games for the Comets, where he tallied two goals and two assists. On October 25, he earned his first career NHL point, assisting on a Darren Archibald goal, the only Canucks goal scored in a 4–1 loss at the Arizona Coyotes. He scored his first NHL goal on November 24, tallying the first Canucks goal in a 4–2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings. Despite being expected to spend most of the season developing in Utica, injuries to Canucks centers resulted in Gaudette appearing in 56 games for Vancouver. Gaudette ended his rookie season with five goals and seven assists, generally playing center on Vancouver's third line.
Gaudette made Vancouver's 2019–20 season roster out of training camp; however, he was reassigned to Utica on October 24, 2019, after playing in only three of Vancouver's first nine games. After being recalled on October 27, Gaudette responded by scoring six goals and ten points in November, solidifying his spot in the lineup. Gaudette ended 2019–20 season with 12 goals, 21 assists, and 33 points in 59 games before the NHL suspended play due to the COVID-19 pandemic on March 12, 2020. When play resumed, Gaudette played in 10 of Vancouver 17 playoff games, going pointless. On October 19, 2020, the Canucks re-signed Gaudette to a one-year, $950,000 contract. In the pandemic-shortened 2020–21 season he appeared in 33 games for the Canucks, scoring four goals and seven points. In April 2021, the Canucks suffered a significant COVID-19 outbreak, with Gaudette among the diagnosed.
On April 12, 2021, Gaudette was traded at the NHL trade deadline to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Matthew Highmore. He made his Blackhawks debut on April 19 in a 5–2 loss to the Nashville Predators, recording his first point for the team, assisting on David Kampf's second period goal. He marked his first goal with Chicago in his next game with the team on April 29 in a 4–3 overtime loss to the Florida Panthers. He played in seven games for the Blackhawks to close out the season, scoring one goal and four points. On July 26, the Blackhawks signed Gaudette to a one-year, $997,500 contract extension.
