Zach Hyman

Zachary Martin Hyman (born June 9, 1992) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is a left winger for the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He previously played for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He and his family own the Brantford Bulldogs of the Ontario Hockey League.

Hockey Canada named him the 2011 Canadian Junior Hockey League Player of the Year. In 2013, Hyman represented Canada at the 2013 Maccabiah Games in Israel, where he won a gold medal. During the 2014–15 season, Hyman won a number of awards, including being named the University of Michigan's Athlete of the Year and a First Team All-American, and was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award.

Hyman was selected by the Florida Panthers in the fifth round of the 2010 NHL entry draft. However, the parties were unable to agree on a contract, and Hyman's rights were traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs on June 19, 2015. During his rookie 2016–17 season, he set a new Maple Leafs record for most short-handed goals scored by a rookie in a season with four, and tied the team record for the most consecutive games with an assist by a rookie at six games.

Hyman is also an award-winning author of children's literature, under contract with Penguin Random House.

Hyman was born on June 9, 1992, in Toronto, Ontario, to an Ashkenazi Jewish family. He grew up in the Forest Hill neighbourhood with his parents Stuart and Vicky Hyman, four brothers: Spencer, Oliver, Cooper and Shane. Hyman's father Stuart is the Chairman and Governor of the Markham Royals and the Chairman of the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL). Zach's younger brother Spencer is the COO and General Manager of the Brantford Bulldogs Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and the President of Hockey Operations of the Markham Royals (OJHL). His younger brother Oliver played for the Hamilton Red Wings from 2011 to 2013. Hyman attended United Synagogue Day School and graduated with honours from a Jewish high school, the Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto.

Hyman volunteers much of his free time in the community and is an athlete ambassador for children's charities such as Right To Play and First Book Canada.

Every summer, Hyman hosts a celebrity charity golf tournament to raise money for charities in Edmonton and Toronto, including the SickKids Hospital in Toronto.

Hyman and his wife Alannah Mozes, a lawyer, have three sons together.
