Career
Sheldon Dries played hockey for the HoneyBaked hockey program in the Detroit area in his youth . During the 2010/11 season he moved to the Green Bay Gamblers in the United States Hockey League (USHL), the highest junior league in the country, having previously been selected in their Futures Draft in 22nd position. With the Gamblers, the center won the USHL playoffs for the Clark Cup at the end of its first full season , before increasing its personal statistics to 49 scorer points from 54 games in the following season 2012/13 . The American then moved to Western Michigan University and took part with their Broncos in the game operations of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC), a league in the game operations of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). At the Broncos, he took over the position of team captain in his second year , which he would hold for three years, and was also elected to the NCHC Second All-Star Team after the 2016/17 season .
Nevertheless, Dries was not considered in any NHL entry draft , so that he joined the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League (AHL) in May 2017 after his fourth and final year of college . There he spent the 2017/18 season and with 10 playoff goals played a key role in ensuring that the stars reached the final of the Calder Cup , where they subsequently failed because of the Toronto Marlies . The attacker was then given an entry-level contract by the Colorado Avalanche in July 2018 and made his debut in the National Hockey League (NHL) at the beginning of the 2018/19 season . He will also continue to be used on the Avalanche's AHL farm team , the Colorado Eagles .
