Career
Shields was born in Buffalo and raised in Rochester , where he began ice hockey at Maksymum Jr. Hockey Club. In 2007 he was selected in the third round of the OHL Priority Selection in 41st place by the Erie Otters under coach Robbie Ftorek , for which he then completed four seasons. One of his teammates was Ryan O'Reilly .
In 2011 he turned professional and then played until 2013 for the Peoria Rivermen , the farm team of the St. Louis Blues (NHL) in the second highest division AHL . This commitment was only interrupted by a month-long appearance at the Alaska Aces from the ECHL . At Rivermen he was on the ice with Jake Allen and Ben Bishop, among others .
After the St. Louis Blues had chosen the Chicago Wolves as the new farm team , Shields played the following two seasons for this team in the AHL. In September 2015 he was signed by Adirondack Thunder , the ECHL farm team of the Calgary Flames (NHL), but only played 15 games. In the middle of the season he moved back to Club Peoria Rivermen with a professional tryout contract, which was now called Utica Comets . There he also received a contract for the 2016/17 season.
In July 2017, the EC VSV from the Austrian Ice Hockey League announced the engagement of David Shields.
