Career

youth

Mikkel Bødker began his career as an ice hockey player in the junior division of the Rødovre Mighty Bulls , for whose second team he played in a game in the second Danish division, the 1st division, in the 2004/05 season, before he then played at the age of 15 moved to Sweden for Frölunda HC . There he played a few games for the U18 team, but completed most of the season with the U20 juniors, where he had a good first season with nine goals and eight assists and made it to the final of the playoffs with Frölunda . In the 2006/07 season he finally developed into a driving force in the Frölunda youth team and scored 49 points in 39 games. In the playoffs he led the team to the junior championship and was the best scorer in the finals. He also played two games with the pros in the Elitserien that season .

Bødker then moved to North America, where he played for the Kitchener Rangers in the Canadian junior league Ontario Hockey League . There he also fitted in equally well and with 29 goals and 44 assists in 62 games was the second best scorer of his team behind Justin Azevedo , who led the entire league in points. In the playoffs, the Rangers moved into the final with only one defeat in the first three rounds against the Belleville Bulls , with whom they delivered a competitive final series, from which they finally emerged victorious and won the J. Ross Robertson Cup . Bødker contributed nine goals and 26 assists in the 20 playoff games and was only one point behind teammate Azevedo, who was named Most Valuable Player. Bødker himself was voted into the all- rookie team of the season by the OHL . After the OHL season, he took part with the Rangers in the Memorial Cup , the championship tournament of the three major Canadian junior leagues. Here, too, Kitchener moved into the final, but failed there because of the Spokane Chiefs .

NHL

Mikkel Bødker was in the rankings of the NHL Entry Draft 2008 as the best European in the North America ranking in eleventh place and was finally selected by the Phoenix Coyotes in the first round in eighth place. A few months later in the Coyotes training camp, he was able to assert himself in the NHL squad and received a regular place. In his second game on October 12, 2008, he scored his first goal in the NHL against the Anaheim Ducks . In the 2008/09 season he scored a total of eleven goals and 17 assists in 78 games for Phoenix. Due to his good performance in his rookie year , he was allowed to participate in the 2009 NHL YoungStars Game . In the following season , the Dane lost his regular place and he was mainly for Phoenix ' farm team San Antonio Rampage in the American Hockey League for use. In the 2010/11 season , the national player played about the same number of times for the NHL team of the Phoenix Coyotes and the San Antonio Rampage from the AHL. With the Coyotes, he failed in the first playoff round at the Detroit Red Wings .

Since the 2011/12 season , the Dane has been an integral part of the NHL squad with the Coyotes and, as a result, for the first time completed all 82 games in the top division of North America. In the play-offs, with a total of 8 scorer points in 14 games, he had a significant share in the entry of his team into the Western Conference final , where the Coyotes were subject to the Los Angeles Kings in five games . Bødker bridged the lockout at the beginning of the following season in the Finnish SM-liiga at Lukko before he returned to the Coyotes after the player strike ended in January 2015. The following year , the left-shooter played his strongest offensive season in the NHL with 19 goals and 32 assists. In the 7-4 win against the Edmonton Oilers in October 2014, he managed the first hat trick of his NHL career.

After almost eight years in the organization of the Coyotes, Bødker was transferred to the Colorado Avalanche in February 2016 . In return, Alex Tanguay , Kyle Wood and Conner Bleackley moved to Arizona. In Colorado, the Dane ended the 2015/16 season, but did not extend his expiring contract, so he joined the San Jose Sharks as a free agent in July 2016 . In the following off-season he represented Team Europe at the World Cup of Hockey 2016 , where he finished second with the team. After two years in San Jose, the Dane was transferred to the Ottawa Senators in June 2018 together with Julius Bergman and a six- round vote for the NHL Entry Draft 2020 , while the Sharks received Mike Hoffman , Cody Donaghey and a five-round vote in the same draft . In addition, Hoffman was given in the course of this in exchange for further draft voting rights to the Florida Panthers .

HC Lugano

In May 2020, HC Lugano announced that it had provided Bødker with a two-year contract for the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons. At the time of signing, it was still unclear whether the 2019/20 NHL season, which was interrupted due to the coronavirus pandemic, will continue.
