Playing career

Hildeby played in his youth for Åker/Strängnäs, Hudiksvalls HC, Hud/Alf/Bol/SIK/SL, Timrå IK and Färjestad BK. He played in the 2020–21 season on a loan for Linden Hockey in the Hockeyettan. [1]

Hildeby played in seven regular season games with Färjestad in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) during the 2021–22 season and he won the SHL title with the team. [2] [3] He was drafted in the fourth round, 122nd overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL in the 2022 NHL entry draft. [3] [4] He signed on 13 July 2022 a three-year, entry-level contract with the Maple Leafs. [2] [5] He ultimately returned to Färjestad on a loan to earn more experience. [2] Hildeby finished the season with Färjestad and came over to North America, where he appeared in two games with the Maple Leafs' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Toronto Marlies. During the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs, Hildeby was recalled on an emergency basis by the Maple Leafs after starting goaltender Ilya Samsonov was injured. [6]

Hildeby attended the Maple Leafs' 2023 training camp, but was assigned to the Marlies to start the 2023–24 season. [7] He was later called up to the Maple Leafs as Samsonov's replacement after the goaltender was placed on waivers, though he did not see any ice time. [8] [9] He was again assigned to the Marlies to start the 2024–25 season, [10] though following an injury to Joseph Woll, he was recalled to the Maple Leafs on an emergency basis. [11] On 10 October 2024, Hildeby made his NHL debut with the Maple Leafs, making 23 saves in a 4–2 victory over the New Jersey Devils. [12] He played in one more game, suffering his first NHL loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, before Woll was activated and he was returned to the Marlies on 24 October. [13]
