Playing career

[edit]

DeHart developed his early hockey skills while competing in Junior Hockey within the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). During his time in the OHL, he played for two well-known teams: the London Knights and the Oshawa Generals.[2]

In the 2011-12 season, DeHart appeared in 46 games for the Stockton Thunder in the ECHL.[2] He was re-signed by the Stockton on July 12, 2012, to return for the 2012-13 season.[2]

On July 2, 2013, DeHart became one of the first three players to sign with the newly formed St. Charles Chill of the Central Hockey League.[1] During the 2013-14 season, he appeared in only 10 games for the Chill before joining the ECHL's Florida Everblades on December 2, 2013.[3][4]

DeHart signed with the ECHL's Gwinnett Gladiators on August 13, 2014.[5] However, on October 15, 2014, before appearing in a regular season game, he was released by the team.[6]

DeHart signed with the Missouri Mavericks of the ECHL on November 11, 2014.[4] However, the following day, before making his debut, the Mavericks suspended him.[7]

After being suspended by the Mavericks before playing a single game, DeHart sought to continue his professional hockey career overseas. He signed with HC Eppan Pirates, a club competing in Serie A, Italy's top professional ice hockey league at the time.[8]
