Zachery "Zack" Mitchell (born January 7, 1993) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward. He is currently playing for the Minnesota Wild of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

Mitchell played major junior hockey in his native Ontario, with the Guelph Storm of the Ontario Hockey League. Undrafted, Mitchel scored 83 points in 67 games in the 2013–14 season with the Storm. He completed his junior career with the Storm as the franchise leader in games played with 322 before he was signed by the Minnesota Wild to a three-year entry-level contract on March 4, 2014.[1]

After attending his first training camp with the Wild, Mitchell was assigned to begin the 2014–15 season and his professional career with affiliate, the Iowa Wild of the AHL on September 27, 2014.[2] In his rookie season with Iowa, Mitchell was the only player to appear in every regular season game, contributing with 17 goals and 35 points in 76 contests.

In the final year of his rookie contract, Mitchell received his first recall to the Wild in the 2016–17 season, on November 9, 2016.[3] He made his debut the following night, in a victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on November 10, 2016.[4]
