Josh Currie (born October 29, 1992) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward. He is currently playing with the Bakersfield Condors in the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

Undrafted, Currie played major junior hockey with the Prince Edward Island Rocket of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). Currie was rewarded for his outstanding play during the 2012–13 QMJHL season by being named to the QMJHL's First All-Star Team.[1]

Currie made his professional debut in the ECHL with the Gwinnett Gladiators before signing for his second season in the ECHL with the Bakersfield Condors on August 27. 2014.[2]

In 2015, the Edmonton Oilers moved their American Hockey League franchise to become the Bakersfield Condors and the ECHL Condors team was displaced. On August 19, 2015, Currie continued with the former ECHL Condors' franchise, agreeing to a one-year deal with the now relocated Norfolk Admirals in the ECHL.[3] He signed a two-year AHL contract to return to Bakersfield with the AHL Condors on July 6, 2017.[4]

On July 19, 2018, after impressing in each of his three seasons with the Condors, Currie was signed to his first NHL contract in agreeing to a two-year, two-way contract with the Edmonton Oilers.[5]
