Biography

Kevin Schmidt (born February 14, 1986) is a Canadian-German professional ice hockey defenceman. He is under contract with Dornbirner EC of the Austrian top-flight EBEL.

Playing career

A native of Markham, Ontario, Schmidt graduated from St. Michael’s College School in 2005. He enrolled at Bowling Green State University and played in 147 games for the Falcons during his four-year college career, serving as alternate captain his senior season.

He spent his first season of professional hockey in the East Coast Hockey League, recording 30 points (seven goals, 23 assists) in 50 contests for the Wheeling Nailers in 2009-10.

Schmidt moved to the Hannover Indians of the second German division for the 2010-11 season and took the next step forward in his career, being picked up by the Hamburg Freezers, a member of Germany’s top flight Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL), prior to the 2011-12 campaign. In Hamburg, Schmidt evolved into a solid DEL player and was given contract extension until 2017, in December 2013. However, the Freezers folded in May 2016 and Schmidt had to look for other opportunities after five years with the team.

On June 29, 2016, he signed with Dornbirner EC of the Austrian Hockey League.
