Previously, Vey spent three years in the organization of the Los Angeles Kings , who had selected him in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, and three seasons with the Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames . He also represented the Canadian national team at the 2018 Winter Olympics , where he won the bronze medal with the team.

Career

youth

Linden Vey began playing ice hockey at the age of four and played for the Beardy's Blackhawks in the Saskatchewan Midget Hockey League in his youth . In 2006, the Medicine Hat Tigers selected him in 42nd position in the WHL Bantam Draft , so Vey played in the Western Hockey League (WHL) at the beginning of the 2007/08 season , with two games for the Tigers in the previous season had completed. In his debut season, the attacker came on 48 missions and scored 17 points scorer . Over the turn of the year he was part of the Canada Western team , with whom he took part in the World U-17 Hockey Challenge 2008 and won the bronze medal there.

Having increased in the 2008/09 season his personal statistics on more than one point per game, which elected him Los Angeles Kings in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft at 96th position. For the time being, however, he stayed in Medicine Hat and confirmed his point average in the following season with almost identical values. In the 2010/11 season, in which he also led the Tigers as assistant captain, the Canadian showed exceptional performance. With 116 points he was the best scorer of all three top junior leagues in Canada and thus won the CHL Top Scorer Award . Synonymous with it he also received the Bob Clarke Trophy as the best scorer in the WHL; he was also elected to the First All-Star Team of the Eastern Conference of the WHL. After these honors, Vey signed an entry-level contract with the Los Angeles Kings in May 2011 .

Los Angeles Kings

The Los Angeles Kings gave Vey to the Manchester Monarchs , their farm team from the American Hockey League (AHL), from where he subsequently made his professional debut. In his first AHL season he was elected Rookie of the Month for February and scored a total of 43 points scorer in 74 missions, increasing this statistic to 67 points in the following season. After he had also started the 2013/14 season with the Monarchs and acted there as assistant captain, the Kings appointed him to the NHL squad for the first time in November 2013, so that he subsequently made his debut in the National Hockey League (NHL). By the end of the season he came to 18 NHL appearances, but spent the remainder of the season in Manchester. During the play-offs for the Stanley Cup , which the Kings won in 2014, Vey was with the team, but did not play a game and was therefore not immortalized on the cup.

Vancouver and Calgary

After the 2013/14 season, the Los Angeles Kings gave him to the Vancouver Canucks and received a second-round vote for the 2014 NHL Entry Draft . It was there that Vey met head coach Willie Desjardins , who had coached him throughout his time with the Medicine Hat Tigers. At the Canucks, the Canadian established himself directly in the NHL squad and was used regularly.

As part of the preparation for the 2015/16 season, however, he was unable to defend his regular place and was initially given to the Utica Comets in the AHL. In the course of the season, however, he came to 41 NHL missions. After the 2015/16 season, Vey did not get a new contract in Vancouver and therefore joined the Calgary Flames as a free agent in July 2016 . There he could not prevail in the context of the pre-season and was initially given to the AHL farm team, the Stockton Heat .

KHL and Zurich

Then Vey decided to move to Europe and signed a contract with Barys Astana from the Continental Hockey League . After only about half a year, however, he left the KHL and joined the ZSC Lions from the National League in January 2018 . He subsequently made his debut for the Canadian national team at the 2018 Winter Olympics , in which the team that competed without NHL players won the bronze medal. At the end of the season he won the Swiss championship with the ZSC Lions . He then returned to the KHL when he was signed by HK CSKA Moscow . The Canadian stayed there for two seasons and won the Gagarin Cup with CSKA during this time . In May 2020 he moved to SKA Saint Petersburg within the league .
