Peter Allen (born March 6, 1970) is a Canadian former ice hockey defenceman. He played 8 games in the National Hockey League with the Pittsburgh Penguins during the 1995–96 season. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1993 to 2004, was mainly spent in the minor leagues and then in Europe.

Playing career

[edit]

Born in Calgary, Alberta, Allen was taken in the 1991 NHL Supplemental Draft by the Boston Bruins from Yale University. After graduation in 1993, he had a spell with the Canadian National Team before spells in the East Coast Hockey League with the Richmond Renegades and in the American Hockey League for the Prince Edward Island Senators. Another sting with Team Canada followed, including in the 1995 World Championships, winning a bronze medal. Afterwards he signed with the Pittsburgh Penguins as a free agent and played eight games for them during the 1995–96 season but failed to register a point. He spent much of his tenure with the International Hockey League's Cleveland Lumberjacks.

In 1997, Allen signed with the San Jose Sharks, but was assigned to the AHL's Kentucky Thoroughblades and never played for San Jose. Afterwards, Allen played in European leagues, beginning in the Swiss Nationalliga B with EHC Chur. He then played in Germany's Deutsche Eishockey Liga for the Schwenninger Wild Wings and in the German 2nd Bundesliga for EC Bad Nauheim before retiring in 2004.
