David Warsofsky

David Matthew Warsofsky (born May 30, 1990) is an American ice hockey coach in the Washington Capitals system who had been a defenseman who most recently played for Augsburger Panther of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).

Warsofsky is Jewish, and was born in Marshfield, Massachusetts, the son of Dawn and Mark Warsofsky. His brother Ryan Warsofsky is the NHL ice hockey head coach for the San Jose Sharks.

He played at Marshfield High School in 2004–05 and at Cushing Academy in Ashburnham, Massachusetts for the following two years. He was named the 2007 U.S. Hockey Report's Prep Defenseman of the Year. Warsofsky was captain of the 2007–08 Under-18 United States men's national ice hockey team, where he tied as leader in assists and was second in points. The team won a bronze medal at the 2008 IIHF World U18 Championship.

Warsofsky was selected by the St. Louis Blues in the 4th round (95th overall) of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. Instead of turning pro immediately, he played for Boston University in the Hockey East and was a member of the 2009 national championship team as a freshman. He played for Team USA in 2010, winning the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.

On June 26, 2010, the Blues traded Warsofsky's rights to the Boston Bruins in exchange for Vladimír Sobotka. He then played four consecutive seasons solely for the Bruins' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Providence Bruins.

On December 18, 2013, the Bruins recalled Warsofsky from Providence. He is the first Bruin to wear the number 79. He made his NHL debut the following night in a 4–2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. On December 28, Warsofsky scored his first career NHL goal in a 4–3 loss to the Ottawa Senators. He finished the season with two points in six games for Boston, as well as 32 in 56 with Providence.

On July 1, 2015, Warsofsky signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He skated in 12 games for the Penguins during the 2015–16 season, recording one goal. On February 26, 2016, the New Jersey Devils claimed Warsofsky off waivers. He finished the season with one assist in ten games for the Devils.

On July 1, 2016, Warsofsky returned to the Penguins, signing a one-year, two-way contract. He spent the majority of the 2016–17 season with Wilkes-Barre, where he led all team defensemen with 47 points in 58 contests, all career-highs. He also skated in seven games with Pittsburgh, recording one assist.
