Career

Matt Smaby first played for the Shattuck St. Mary’s ice hockey team in the United States high school league system from 2001 to 2003 . He then began studying at the University of North Dakota and went on the ice for their ice hockey team from 2003 to 2006 in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association . There he won the WCHA championship with the team in the 2005/06 season. For the Tampa Bay Lightning , of which he had already been selected as a high school player in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft in the second round as a 41st player, the defender made his debut in the National Hockey League in the 2007/08 season , where he remained pointless in 14 games and received twelve penalty minutes. In the preseason, the left shooter had only played for their farm team at the time , the Springfield Falcons from the American Hockey League . From 2007 Smaby ran parallel for Tampa Bay in the NHL and their new farm team, the Norfolk Admirals , in the AHL. On July 14, 2011, he signed a one-year contract with the Anaheim Ducks , for which he did not play a single game. The defender was only used in the farm team, the Syracuse Crunch , in the 2011/12 season . Even so, his contract with the Anaheim Ducks was extended for another year. However, Smaby only completed missions for the cooperation partner in the AHL, the Norfolk Admirals, this season.

On June 6, 2013, EHC Red Bull Munich announced that the defender had signed a contract. In June 2017, Smaby left the club after the Smaby and the club could not agree on a new contract.
