Brendan Guhle (/ˈɡuːliː/ GOO-lee;[1] born July 29, 1997) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman. Guhle was selected by the Buffalo Sabres in the second round, 51st overall, of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
[edit]Junior
[edit]In the 2012 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft, Guhle was drafted with the third-overall pick by the Prince Albert Raiders.[2]
In January 2014, Guhle was a member of Canada's silver medal-winning Team Pacific at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge.[3]
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.[4] In 2015, he was a member of Team Canada's WHL team in the CHL Canada-Russia series.[5]
Guhle was drafted in the second round, 51st overall, by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.[6] On July 27, 2015, the Sabres signed Guhle to a 3-year entry-level contract.[7]
Guhle played four games with the Sabres during the 2015 preseason, recording two assists.[8] The team chose to return him to Prince Albert for the 2015–16 season.[9] When Prince Albert's season ended, Guhle was recalled to the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League.[10]
During the 2016–17 season, the Raiders traded Guhle to the Prince George Cougars.[11]
Professional
[edit]Buffalo Sabres
[edit]On December 2, 2016, Guhle was called up by the Sabres on an emergency basis.[12] 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.[13]
Guhle began the 2017–18 season with the Rochester Americans and received a call-up to the Sabres on January 8, 2018.[14] He featured in 18 games with the Sabres, posting 5 assists, before completing the season with the Americans, registering 26 points in 50 games.
In the following 2018–19 season, Guhle continued with Rochester, earning a recall to the Sabres on December 16, 2018, making two scoreless appearances before returning to the Americans. He was selected to the AHL All-Star Classic and participated in the 2019 AHL Skills Competition where he posted the sixth-fastest time in the fastest skater competition in event history. Guhle ranked second among Rochester defensemen with 27 points in 50 games.
Anaheim Ducks
[edit]On February 24, 2019, Guhle was traded by the Sabres, along with a 2019 first-round pick to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Brandon Montour.[15] During the pause of the 2019–20 season, on May 10, 2020, Guhle was signed a two-year, $1.6 million contract extension with the Ducks.[16]

With his NHL prospects having stagnated within the Ducks organization, as an impending restricted free agent Guhle opted to sign his first contract abroad in agreeing to a one-year deal with German club, Eisbären Berlin of the DEL, on July 5, 2022.[17]
On December 20, 2022, Guhle retired from hockey for personal reasons.[18]
Personal life
[edit]Guhle grew up in Sherwood Park, Alberta and is a graduate of Archbishop Jordan High School.[19] His younger brother Kaiden, also a hockey player, was drafted sixteenth overall in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens.[20]
