Dalton Smith (born June 30, 1992) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is currently playing with the Rochester Americans in the American Hockey League (AHL). Smith was selected by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2nd round (34th overall) of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Smith played four seasons (2008–2012) of major junior hockey with the Ottawa 67's of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), scoring 50 goals and 55 assists for 105 points, and earning 328 penalty minutes, over 196 games.

On August 8, 2011, the Columbus Blue Jackets signed Smith to a three-year entry level contract.[1]

At the 2013–14 trade deadline, the Blue Jackets traded Smith and Jonathan Marchessault, to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Dana Tyrell and Matt Taormina on March 5, 2014,.[2]

Smith spent the 2014–15 season with the Lightning's AHL affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch. When Smith's contract was not renewed, he accepted a try-out contract with the Providence Bruins of the AHL on October 3, 2015.[3]

Failing to catch on in Providence, Smith was signed to a one year contract with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. He played 11 games with the Phantoms. After not being resigned by the Phantoms Smith attended the training camp of the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL. Smith belatedly signed a one-year contract with Chalotte near the start of the 2016–17 season, moving down one tier to their ECHL affiliate, the Florida Everblades, on October 9, 2016.[4]

After playing out the season with the Everblades, recording a professional high 23 points in 60 games, Smith as a free agent the following summer attended the Rochester Americans 2017 training camp on September 25, 2017.[5]
