Playing career

Ontario University Athletics

Alexander joined the University of Toronto Varsity Blues' men's hockey team during the 2020—2021 season, which was ultimately cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

For the 2021—2022 shortened season, Alexander played as backup for goaltender Alex Bishop. He played in two OUA games, starting in one of them,[4] and overall achieved a .880 save percentage.[1]

The following, 2022—2023 season, Alexander took on the role as starting goaltender, playing in twenty-two regular season games.[5] He achieved a .927 save percentage, and earned his team a second-straight playoff berth. During the post-season, him and the Varsity Blues defeated the TMU Bold in the first round 2–1, but succumbing to the Lakehead Thunderwolves 1–2 in round two, earning a .918 save percentage for both rounds.[6]

National Hockey League

On December 2, 2021, Alexander signed an amateur tryout contract (ATO) with the Colorado Avalanche to serve as an emergency backup for goaltender Jonas Johansson against the Toronto Maple Leafs as starting goaltender Darcy Kuemper was out with an upper-body injury.[7] He held the role for the duration of the first period until Colorado Eagles goaltender Justus Annunen made it to Scotiabank Arena.[2][8]

On April 8, 2023, Alexander signed an ATO with the Toronto Maple Leafs to back-up starting goalie Ilya Samsonov in their game against the Montreal Canadiens as goalie Matt Murray could not play due to a head injury.[9][10] With one minute and ten seconds remaining in the third period, and Toronto leading 7–1, coach Sheldon Keefe substituted Alexander in place of Samsonov.[11] He faced zero shots.[12]
