Early life [edit]
Gardiner was born in Deephaven, Minnesota and played ice hockey at Minnetonka High School.[1] He attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Professional career [edit]
Gardiner was drafted by the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the first round, 17th overall, in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.[2] He spent the 2007–08 hockey season playing for Minnetonka High School Skippers.
On February 9, 2011, Gardiner, along with Joffrey Lupul and a conditional fourth round draft pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs for defenceman François Beauchemin.[3]
On March 15, 2011, Gardiner agreed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Maple Leafs.[4]
Gardiner started the 2011–12 NHL season with the Leafs. He scored his first NHL goal on January 24, 2012 against Al Montoya of the New York Islanders.[5] At the end of the 2011-12 season, Gardiner was named to the NHL All-Rookie Team after scoring 30 points in 75 games with the Maple Leafs.
On May 6, 2013, Gardiner became the first Toronto Maple Leaf to score a home playoff goal since Mats Sundin scored in a 3-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on May 4, 2004, a span of nine years and two days.
