Brendan Guhle (born July 29, 1997) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman, currently playing for the Rochester Americans in the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect to the Buffalo Sabres in the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

Junior

In the 2012 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft, Guhle was drafted with the third-overall pick by the Prince Albert Raiders.[1]

In January 2014, Guhle was a member of Canada's silver medal-winning Team Pacific at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge.[2]

In January 2015, Guhle participated in the BMO CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game, a showcase of the Canadian Hockey League's top draft eligible players for the 2015 NHL Draft.[3] In 2015, he was a member of Team Canada's WHL team in the CHL Canada-Russia series.[4]

Guhle was drafted in the second round, 51st overall, by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.[5] On July 27, 2015, the Sabres signed Guhle to a 3-year entry-level contract.[6]

Guhle played four games with the Sabres during the 2015 preseason, recording two assists.[7] The team chose to return him to Prince Albert for the 2015–16 season.[8] When Prince Albert's season ended, Guhle was recalled to the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League.[9]

During the 2016–17 season, the Raiders traded Guhle to the Prince George Cougars.[10]

Professional

On December 2, 2016, Guhle was called up by the Sabres on an emergency basis.[11] Guhle played three games for the Sabres while the team's defensemen were injured; while Guhle impressed the Sabres organization during his time in Buffalo, the clause in the NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement allowing for his emergency call-up also forced the team to return him to Prince George when one of their defensemen returned to health.[12]

Guhle began the 2017–18 season with the Rochester Americans and received a call-up to the Sabres on January 8, 2018.[13]

Personal

Guhle grew up in Sherwood Park, Alberta and is a graduate of Archbishop Jordan High School.[14]
