Playing career
Dekanich, who is of Croatian ancestry, played four years of collegiate hockey at Colgate University. On December 3, 2010 the Nashville Predators called Dekanich up from the Milwaukee Admirals,[2] however he did not make his NHL debut until December 18, 2010 when he played 50 minutes against the Los Angeles Kings in relief of the Predators' starter Anders Lindbäck.[3]
On July 3, 2011, Dekanich was signed as a free agent by the Columbus Blue Jackets. However, he missed the majority of the 2011–12 season recovering from reconstructive ankle surgery. On July 6, 2012, Dekanich left the Blue Jackets organization and signed as a free agent to a one-year, contract with the Winnipeg Jets.[4]
On May 20, 2013, he signed his first European contract with Croatian team KHL Medveščak which will compete in the KHL for the 2013–14 season.[5]
After two seasons in Zagreb, Dekanich returned to North America, signing a one-year ECHL contract with the South Carolina Stingrays on September 10, 2015.[6] He was invited to AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears, training camp prior to the 2015–16 season, and was signed to an AHL contract with the club before he was returned to the Stingrays on October 15, 2015.[7]
On August 18, 2016, Dekanich signed an AHL contract with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.[8]
