Cody Ceci
Cody Ceci (born December 21, 1993) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman for the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL). He previously played for the Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, Pittsburgh Penguins, Edmonton Oilers, San Jose Sharks, and Dallas Stars.
After playing junior-age ice hockey with the Ottawa 67's, Ceci was selected 15th overall in the 2012 NHL entry draft by the Ottawa Senators. He made his NHL debut in the 2013–14 season after playing for the Senators' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate Binghamton Senators.
Born and raised in Ottawa, Ceci is the son of former Canadian Football League receiver and 1984 Vanier Cup MVP Parri Ceci. His younger brother Cole was a goaltender for the Oshawa Generals of the OHL, and currently plays for the Evansville Thunderbolts of the SPHL. He also has an older sister Chelsea.
Cody attended St. Peter Catholic High School in Orleans, Ottawa, at ages 13 through 18 and graduated there in 2011, which he then went to attend Lakefield College School, a private boarding institution just north of Peterborough, Ontario. After being drafted, Ceci joined the Ottawa 67's. While playing with the Ottawa 67's, Ceci attended Carleton University.
With the Ottawa 67's in 2011–12, Ceci finished second in scoring amongst all OHL defenceman with 60 points (behind Dougie Hamilton of the Niagara Ice Dogs with 72 points). So eager was Ottawa Senators' GM Bryan Murray to select Ceci that he contacted three different teams early in the 2012 draft in an effort to move up and take the defenceman before another team could. "I honestly never thought he would be available at 15," said Murray. On August 23, 2012, Ceci signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Senators.
On January 8, 2013, in an effort to overtake the London Knights in the OHL's Western Conference, the Owen Sound Attack obtained Ceci from the 67's. Ceci did not have NHL callup rights and was thus able to finish the season in junior. Once the Attack were eliminated, Ceci was called up to finish the season in the AHL with the Binghamton Senators, playing in the team's final three games of the regular season. Paired on defence with team captain Mark Borowiecki, he scored his first professional point in his second game with Binghamton and scored his first professional goal a day later in the season finale.
In October 2013, Ceci was assigned to the Binghamton Senators after training camp. After a suspension to Senators defenceman Jared Cowen, Ceci was called up to Ottawa in December and played his first game in the NHL on December 12, 2013, in Ottawa against the Buffalo Sabres, a 2–1 win for Ottawa. Two games later, on December 16, 2013, at 3:59 of overtime against goaltender Brian Elliott of the St. Louis Blues, Ceci scored his first NHL goal, to win the game 3–2. He was the first teenager in NHL history to score his first NHL goal in overtime. At the beginning of the 2016–17 season, Ceci signed a two-year, $5.6 million contract extension. In the 2016–17 season, he made $2.25 million; in the 2017–18 season, he made $3.35 million.
On August 3, 2018, Ceci agreed to a one-year, $4.3 million contract with the Senators after filing for salary arbitration.
