Tyler Graovac (born April 27, 1993) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player. He is currently playing with the Stockton Heat in the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect to the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League (NHL). Graovac was selected by the Minnesota Wild in the 7th round (191st overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.[1]

Playing career

Graovac played four seasons of major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) with the Ottawa 67's and Belleville Bulls, registering a total of 58 goals, 72 assists, and 76 penalty minutes, in 228 OHL games. He was recognized for his outstanding play when, following his final year, he was awarded the William Hanley Trophy as the OHL's most sportsmanlike player,[2] and was further honoured when he was named 2012–13 Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Sportsman of the Year.[3]

On April 2, 2013, the Minnesota Wild signed Graovac to a three-year, two-way entry-level contract worth $750,000.[4]

In the 2014–15 season, his second professional season, Graovac made his NHL debut with the Wild on December 29, 2014 against the Winnipeg Jets.[5]

On October 5, 2016, he was placed on waivers by the Wild.[6]

On June 14, 2017, he was traded by the Wild to the Washington Capitals in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.[7] Graovac opened the 2017–18 season on the Capitals roster, however appeared in just 5 scoreless games before he was waived and re-assigned to AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears for the remainder of the season.

On July 1, 2018, having left the Capitals as a free agent, Graovac was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Calgary Flames.[8]
