Michael Mario Kempe (born September 19, 1988 in Kramfors ) is a Swedish ice hockey player who has been under contract with HK CSKA Moscow from the Continental Hockey League since November 2019 .

Career

Mario Kempe went through the youth department of MODO Hockey in his youth , so he played in the 2005/06 season for their U20 in the J20 SuperElit , the highest junior league in Sweden. The following season he decided to move to North America after the St. John's Fog Devils from the Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec (LHJMQ) had considered him in the 2006 CHL Import Draft in 31st position. After his rookie season in the LHJMQ, the winger was selected 122nd in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers . In the following year he achieved a points average of over 1.0 per game for the Fog Devils, but then returned to his home in Sweden, where he ran from then on for the Rögle BK and the Mora IK . Towards the end of the 2008/09 season he completed eight games for the farm team of the Philadelphia Flyers, the Philadelphia Phantoms from the American Hockey League (AHL), but could not recommend himself for a long-term commitment.

As a result, Kempe was on the ice for Rögle, Djurgårdens IF and his training club MODO Hockey in the following years and established himself as a regular scorer in the highest Swedish professional league, the 2013 renamed Svenska Hockeyligan (SHL; previously Elitserien ). For the 2014/15 season he was committed to HK Vitjas Podolsk from the Continental Hockey League (KHL), for which the Swede played over 150 games over the next three years. He then signed a contract with the Arizona Coyotes from the National Hockey League (NHL) in May 2018 , so he moved to North America for a second time. In the jersey of the Coyotes, the attacker made his debut in the NHL at the beginning of the 2017/18 season, but was subsequently mainly used for the AHL farm team, the Tucson Roadrunners . With the beginning of the 2018/19 season, he managed to establish himself predominantly in the NHL squad. In the following summer of 2019, he moved to the Los Angeles Kings as a free agent , where his brother Adrian was also active. The Kings, however, only used him in the AHL with the Ontario Reign , before his contract was terminated after only 16 missions, so that he returned to the KHL in November 2019. There he signed a two-year contract with HK CSKA Moscow .

International

At the international level, Kempe gained his first experience at the U18 World Cup in 2006 before winning the silver medal with the Swedish U20 national team at the U20 World Cup in 2008 . After that, there were no further appearances in major tournaments for the time being, but he represented the senior national team at the Euro Hockey Tours 2013/14 and 2016/17 .
