Career

Pickard in a rookie game for the Nashville Predators against the Florida Panthers

Chet Pickard played for the Winnipeg Monarchs in the Manitoba Midget Hockey League in the 2004/05 season. The next year he moved to the Western Hockey League to the Tri-City Americans , who had selected him in the 2004 WHL Bantam Draft. In his first two seasons he was a substitute goalkeeper behind Carey Price . From the 2007/08 season, Pickard was a regular goalkeeper for the Americans and showed outstanding performance, so that in 2008 he received the CHL Goaltender of the Year award. In the 2008 NHL Entry Draft , he was selected in the first round in 18th place by the Nashville Predators , making him the first selected goalkeeper. After Pickard reached the conference final of the WHL playoffs with the Tri-City Americans in the previous year , they were eliminated in the 2008/09 conference semifinals against eventual champions Kelowna Rockets .

For the 2009/10 season Pickard signed an entry level contract with the Nashville Predators. He formed a goalkeeping duo with Mark Dekanich , another Predators draft pick , on the Milwaukee Admirals farm team in the American Hockey League . For the next two years, Pickard was sent to the ECHL with the Cincinnati Cyclones . After his performance in the first three years did not meet expectations, Pickard moved in 2012 to the second Swedish division to Djurgården IF . In the HockeyAllsvenskan he was a regular goalkeeper and could qualify with his team for the playoffs, but not rise. In the 2013/14 season Pickard returned to North America and played in the AHL for the Oklahoma City Barons and in the ECHL for the Bakersfield Condors . The next year he signed with the Odense Bulldogs from Denmark for which he played all games.

Pickard moved to the Iserlohn Roosters in the German Ice Hockey League in May 2015 . He signed an annual contract with an option and was scheduled as a backup for goalkeeper Mathias Lange . Since both goalkeepers performed well, the game shares were divided over the course of the season. Pickard played 26 games in the main round, while Lange got 30 appearances.

In April 2017 he received a two-year contract from Adler Mannheim . At the end of the 2018/19 season, he won his first German championship title with the Adler . After this success he moved to the Grizzlys Wolfsburg within the DEL and received a two-year contract there, which he had already signed in January 2019.

International

Pickard took part in the 2009 U20 World Junior Championship for Canada . He came to two missions and was U20 world champion.
