Chris Allen (born May 8, 1978) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman who played two games in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Florida Panthers.

Playing career

[edit]

While playing for the Kingston Frontenacs, Allen scored the first ever goal at the CHL Top Prospects Game in 1996. Playing for Team Cherry and held that year at Maple Leaf Gardens, the goal was assisted by the Drummondville Voltigeurs' Daniel Brière.[citation needed] Allen was drafted in the third round, 60th overall, by the Florida Panthers in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft and played two games in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the team. An injury sidetracked his career and he never again reached the NHL level. Allen has had his shot recorded at 103 miles per hour and picked up the OHL Defenceman Of The Year award in 1997–98. Chris is also tied for second all time in OHL goals for a defenceman with Bobby Orr and Al McInnis with 38 in 66 games as a member of the Kingston Frontenacs.

Allen has played 13 years professional, taking him all over the world. He has previously played in the NHL, the American Hockey League, ECHL, Europe (Finland, Norway, Denmark, Austria and Hungary, UK, Italy), and Asia (Korea, Japan, China).[1]

Allen was voted in the top 16 of Peta's 2008 Sexiest Vegetarian Next Door Contest,[2] and was eventually named the winner.[3]
