Louis Belpedio (born May 14, 1996) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman currently playing with the Iowa Wild in the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect for the Minnesota Wild of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected by the Wild, 80th overall, in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Belpedio played midget hockey within the Culver Military Academy in Indiana. He continued his development playing within the USA Hockey National Team Development Program in the United States Hockey League.

Upon completing a four-year collegiate career with Miami University (Ohio) in the 2017–18 campaign, Belpedio initially joined the Wild's AHL affiliate, the Iowa Wild on an amateur try-out contract on March 16, 2018.[1]

After 10 games with Iowa, Belpedio signed a two-year, entry-level contract with draft club, the Minnesota Wild on April 5, 2018.[2] He joined the playoff bound Wild roster and made his NHL debut, recording two assists and becoming the first player in Wild history to record a multi-point game in his NHL debut, in a season finale 6–3 victory over the San Jose Sharks on April 7, 2018.[3] Belpedio remained on the roster through the Wilds' first round playoff exit, without featuring in a game.
