Adam Clendening (born October 26, 1992 in Niagara Falls , New York ) is an American ice hockey player who has been under contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets in the National Hockey League since July 2018 and also for their farm team, the Cleveland Monsters , in the American Hockey League is used.
Career
youth
Adam Clendening was born in Niagara Falls and grew up in neighboring Wheatfield . He started playing ice hockey at the age of three, but also played golf at high school level at the same time . His father was also active as a player and later as a coach in the junior ice hockey division and made sure that his son - after a short stay with the Buffalo Bengals - moved to Toronto , as the conditions for potential professional players are much better there than in Toronto West of New York . Adam Clendening attended St. Michael's College in Toronto and played for their school team as well as for the Toronto Marlboros , one of the best junior teams in Canada, which in turn was coached by former NHL professional Steve Thomas . Meanwhile, Clendening lived in Thomas' house and played with his son Christian Thomas ( drafted by the New York Rangers in 2010 ) for the Marlboros.
After a year in Toronto, Clendening moved to the USA Hockey National Team Development Program (NTDP), the Ann Arbor- based central talent factory of the US Ice Hockey Federation, at the beginning of the 2008/09 season . In the next two years he played with the best youth team in the country against various college teams as well as in the NAHL and the USHL , the two highest junior leagues in the USA. In addition, the NTDP team also functions as the U18 national team, so that the defender took part in the U18 World Championships in 2009 and 2010 and won the gold medal in each case. In the latter, Clendening was also elected to the All-Star Team of the tournament, was the defender with the most goals (3) and assists (7) and the player with the best plus / minus statistics (+9).
Boston University
In the summer of 2010, Clendening retired due to age from the NTDP and then enrolled at Boston University , where he would also have had the opportunity to switch to the Ontario Hockey League to the London Knights , who had drafted in the Priority Selection . At the BU he took the Management Studies course and played for the Terriers in Hockey East at the same time . As a freshman , the defender had 26 points scorer in 39 games and was subsequently elected to the Hockey East all-rookie team . In addition, his achievements generated sufficient attention from the National Hockey League (NHL), so that he was selected in the subsequent NHL Entry Draft 2011 in 36th position by the Chicago Blackhawks . In his second and final season in Boston he was elected to the First All-Star Team and represented the U20 national team of his home country at the 2012 World Cup , in which the team finished seventh.
Chicago Blackhawks
In June 2012, Clendening signed a three-year entry contract with the Blackhawks and, as expected, was sent to their farm team , the Rockford IceHogs , in the American Hockey League (AHL) at the beginning of the 2012/13 season . As a rookie , he led all AHL defenders in templates (37) in his first professional season and was subsequently appointed to the AHL All-Star Classic and the Second All-Star Team . He also spent the following season 2013/14 completely in the AHL, scoring 59 points in 74 games for the IceHogs and was elected to the AHL's First All-Star Team at the end of the season . It was not until November 2014 that Clendening made his debut in the NHL for the Blackhawks, but did not establish himself in their squad in four completed games and subsequently returned to the AHL squad of the IceHogs.
Constant changes in the NHL
In January 2015, Clendening was given to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Gustav Forsling , where he made 17 NHL appearances by the end of the season. At the same time he played for their farm team, the Utica Comets , and reached the final of the Calder Cup in the AHL playoffs , where the team was defeated by the Manchester Monarchs . In early July 2015, his contract in Vancouver was extended by a year before the Canucks handed him over to the Pittsburgh Penguins that same month, including Nick Bonino and a second-round vote for the 2016 NHL Entry Draft . In return, Brandon Sutter and a third-round vote for the same draft moved to Vancouver. In the following first half of the 2015/16 season, however, Clendening could not establish himself with the Penguins, so he came to 9 NHL and 6 AHL missions for their farm team from Wilkes-Barre . The result was another change in January 2016, when the defender and David Perron were transferred to the Anaheim Ducks and Carl Hagelin moved to Pittsburgh in return . In Anaheim, Clendening was only under contract for a few days, as he was signed by the Edmonton Oilers when he was to be sent to the AHL via the waiver to the San Diego Gulls . The Oilers were Clendening's fifth team within a calendar year. In Edmonton, Clendening ended the 2015/16 season, but received no new contract beyond that. As a free agent , he joined the New York Rangers in July 2016 , before joining the Arizona Coyotes in July 2017 . In January 2018, the American returned to the Chicago Blackhawks, who also received Anthony Duclair and in return sent Richard Pánik and Laurent Dauphin to Arizona. There he did not receive a new contract after the 2017/18 season and thus switched to Columbus Blue Jackets as a free agent in July 2018 .
