Kerby Rychel (born October 7, 1994 in Torrance , California ) is an American - Canadian ice hockey player who has been under contract with Örebro HK from Svenska Hockeyligan since July 2019 and plays there in the position of left winger . His father Warren Rychel was also a professional ice hockey player.

Career

Rychel was born in Torrance , California , while his father Warren Rychel was a member of the Los Angeles Kings . The striker first played during his junior years at the beginning of the 2010/11 season with the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors from the Ontario Hockey League , who had poached him from league competitor Barrie Colts shortly before the start of the season. He left the St. Michael's Majors in January 2011 after his father brought him into the team in his role as general manager of the Windsor Spitfires in a transfer business. In the Spitfires, the attacker gained a foothold in the OHL at the start of the 2011/12 season and was the Spitfires' top scorer in both seasons up to the summer of 2013. In the 2013/14 season he led Windsor as team captain on the ice, but in January 2014 he was transferred together with Nick Ebert to the title contender Guelph Storm . In return, Windsor received eight voting rights in the OHL Priority Selection between 2014 and 2018, as well as one additional player. The Storm won at the end of the season with the help of Rychel, the top scorer of the play-offs , the J. Ross Robertson Cup . In the subsequent Memorial Cup , the Storm failed in the final against the Edmonton Oil Kings from the Western Hockey League .

After Rychel was selected in the first round in the first round of the Columbus Blue Jackets from the National Hockey League in the NHL Entry Draft 2013 and signed at the end of December 2013, he switched to the professional field at the beginning of the 2014/15 season . First he ran for Columbus' farm team Springfield Falcons in the American Hockey League . During the season he also came to five missions for the Blue Jackets in the NHL. In the following game year, his stakes were divided roughly equally between the NHL and AHL, where he now played for the new cooperation partner Lake Erie Monsters . With the Monsters he won the traditional Calder Cup at the end of the season . After two years in the Blue Jackets franchise , the striker was handed over to the Toronto Maple Leafs in late June 2016 in exchange for Scott Harrington and a conditional five-round vote in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft . During the season, Rychel asked to be transferred to another team because he was not satisfied with the number of his appearances in the NHL. In the Canadians he was used in the AHL in the Toronto Marlies farm team at the beginning of the 2016/17 season .

After one and a half years in Toronto and without having been active in the NHL for the Maple Leafs, he was handed over to the Canadiens de Montréal in February 2018 along with Rinat Valiyev and a second-round vote in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft . In return, Tomáš Plekanec and Kyle Baun moved to Toronto, while the Canadiens continued to take 50% of Plekanec's salary. The Canadiens separated from Rychel in August 2018 when they transferred him to the Calgary Flames in exchange for Hunter Shinkaruk . With the exception of two games for Calgary, the striker spent the entire 2018/19 season on the Stockton Heat farm team . His contract, which was about to expire, was subsequently not extended, so that at the end of July 2019 he switched to Örebro HK from Svenska Hockeyligan as a free agent .

International

Rychel played in the junior division for Canada at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge 2011 , the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament 2011 as well as the U18 World Junior Championship in 2012 and the U20 World Junior Championship in 2014 . The winger won the gold medal at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge and the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament. At the U18 Junior World Championship he won bronze with the team. In addition, he contributed eight scorer points in seven tournament games.
