Brodie Dupont (born February 17, 1987) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward. He is currently playing with the Dornbirner EC in the Austrian Hockey League (EBEL). He was drafted in the 3rd round, 66th overall by the New York Rangers in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

After playing in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Hartford Wolfpack for more than three seasons, Dupont was first called up to the New York Rangers on January 19, 2011[1] and made his NHL debut on January 22, playing seven shifts during a 3–2 shoot-out win over the Atlanta Thrashers.[2]

On July 2, 2011, he was traded by the Rangers to the Nashville Predators for Andreas Thuresson.[3]

After parts of three seasons abroad with German club, Iserlohn Roosters of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga, Dupont returned to North America in initially signing with ECHL club, the Norfolk Admirals. As captain of the club in the 2016–17 season, Dupont was the leading point scorer with 41 in 40 games before he was signed to a professional tryout (PTO) contract with AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors. After concluding the regular season with 21 games with Bakersfield, his ECHL rights were traded to the Greenville Swamp Rabbits, with whom he played 2 post-season games.[4]

As a free agent in the following off-season, Dupont returned to the Norfolk Admirals, securing a one-year deal on September 21, 2017.[5] Regaining his role as team captain through the 2017–18 season, Dupont led the club in scoring at a point-per game rate through 68 appearances. He also had a one-game PTO stint with the Stockton Heat of the AHL.

On July 9, 2018, Dupont left the Admirals for a second time, agreeing to a one-year contract with the Austrian Dornbirner EC of the EBEL.[6]

Personal

Dupont was born in Russell, Manitoba, but grew up in St. Lazare, Manitoba. On July 6, 2013, Brodie Dupont married Kayleen Dupont in the small town of Rothesay, New Brunswick, Canada.
