Jack Skille (born May 19, 1987 in Madison , Wisconsin ) is an American ice hockey player who has been under contract with the Nürnberg Ice Tigers in the German Ice Hockey League since January 2020 .

Career

Jack Skille began his career as an ice hockey player in the youth program of the US ice hockey association USA Hockey , for which he played for a total of two years in the North American Hockey League from 2003 to 2005 . During the 2005 NHL Entry Draft , Skille was selected as the seventh player in the first round by the Chicago Blackhawks . First, however, he played two more years in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association for the ice hockey team of the University of Wisconsin – Madison . With the team in which Joe Pavelski , Tom Gilbert and Adam Burish also played, he won the US college championship in 2006. Towards the end of the 2006/07 season, the American made his professional ice hockey debut when he scored eight points, four of which were goals, in nine games for the Norfolk Admirals of the American Hockey League . In the summer of 2007, Skille was added to the roster of the Rockford IceHogs , the Chicago Blackhawks AHL farm team .

In his first full professional season, the attacker scored 34 points in 59 games, including 16 goals, and reached the playoffs for the Calder Cup with his team , in which he contributed three more points in twelve games. Also in the 2007/08 season Skille made his debut in the National Hockey League for the Blackhawks, recording three goals and two assists in 16 games. Also in the two following seasons Skille was a top performer at the Rockford IceHogs and one of the team's top scorers. During the 2010/11 season , he made the jump into the NHL roster of the Blackhawks and Skille was one of the regulars before he was given in a barter to the Florida Panthers in February 2011 .

In July 2013, he signed a one-year contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets . On October 19, 2013 Skille made his NHL debut for the Blue Jackets, but was transferred to the Springfield Falcons in the AHL the following day , before he was called back to the NHL squad on November 17.

After two years in Columbus, Skille did not receive a new contract, so he took part in the training camp of the Colorado Avalanche on a professional tryout contract in the summer of 2015 . This resulted in a new one-year contract, which the attacker signed in October 2015. With 14 points, which is a good value for a player who is mostly used in the 4th row of attacks, he played his most successful NHL season here. However, he was not so successful at the end of the season after a head injury, which probably prevented a follow-up contract with the club from Denver . Instead, he joined the Vancouver Canucks on the same basis in October 2016 . There, too, the wing attacker only spent one game series. In September, HK Dinamo Minsk took him out of the Continental Hockey League for a year.

In autumn 2018 he completed a try-out with the Ottawa Senators, but did not receive a contract and signed a one-year contract with Genève-Servette HC from the Swiss National League in October 2018 . After thinking about a career as an ice hockey coach like his father, he signed another contract as a player with the DEL team Nürnberg Ice Tigers in January 2020 .
