Wade Megan (born July 22, 1990) is an American professional ice hockey center currently playing for the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League (AHL), while under contract to the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

Originally chosen by the Florida Panthers in the 2009 entry draft, Megan played collegiate hockey with Boston University in the Hockey East. Unable to secure a NHL contract with the Panthers, Megan signed his first professional deal with Florida's AHL affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage to begin the 2013–14 season on September 20, 2013.[1]

After three-years within the Panthers AHL affiliates, Megan left as a free agent and secured his first NHL deal, on a one-year, two-way deal with the St. Louis Blues on July 2, 2016.[2] Upon participating in his first training camp with the Blues, Megan was re-assigned to start the 2016–17 season, with the Chicago Wolves. On December 22, 2016, Megan received his first recall to the NHL.[3] He made his NHL debut that night against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He scored his first NHL goal in the first period in a 5–2 defeat to the Lightning.[4] He was returned to the Wolves following the game.

On July 1, 2018, the Detroit Red Wings signed Megan as a free agent to a one-year, two-way contract.[5]

Personal

He is the son of former professional hockey player, Ron Megan, who played two seasons in the International Hockey League with the Kalamazoo Wings and Peoria Prancers in 1983 and 84.
