Playing career
[edit]Livingston played five seasons (2006-2011) of major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) where he scored 82 goals and 91 assists for 173 points in 316 games played. In 2008 Livingston was selected to play in the CHL Top Prospects Game.
On March 11, 2011, the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League signed Livingston as a free agent to an entry-level contract.[1] Livingston made his professional debut in the American Hockey League with the Worcester Sharks during the 2011–12 season.
In the final year of his contract with the Sharks, and his third season with Worcester, at the 2013–14 trade deadline he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings for a conditional draft pick on March 5, 2014.[2] He was immediately assigned to AHL affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs for the remainder of the season.
On September 23, 2014, unable to attain NHL interest, Livingston was signed to a standard player contract with the Idaho Steelheads of the ECHL.[3]
On July 3, 2015, Livingston decided to pursue a European career, signing a one-year contract with Austrian club, Dornbirner EC of the EBEL.[4]
After a spell in DEL2 with EC Bad Nauheim, Livingston moved to the UK Elite Ice Hockey League to sign for Cardiff Devils in January 2019. He departed at the end of the 2018-19 season.[5][6]
On August 9, 2019, Livingston penned a one-year deal with Cardiff's EIHL counterparts Fife Flyers, whom he would go on to captain.[7]
