Playing career

Sherwood was selected in the seventh-round, 99th overall, by the Youngstown Phantoms in the 2012 USHL Entry Draft. [1]

While Sherwood and his brother went undrafted to the NHL, they were both invited to the Columbus Blue Jackets 2015 development camp. [2] Leaving without a contract, Sherwood began his freshman season at Miami University. [3]

On March 20, 2018, Sherwood signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Anaheim Ducks as an undrafted free agent after playing three years of college hockey at Miami University. [3] Sherwood made the Ducks' 2018 opening night roster out of training camp. [4] He made his NHL debut on October 4, where he recorded his first career NHL point to help the Ducks beat the San Jose Sharks 5–2. [5] He recorded his first career NHL goal in a 5–3 loss to the Dallas Stars on October 13. [6]

As an impending restricted free agent following the conclusion of his entry-level deal, Sherwood was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Ducks and was released to free agency on October 9, 2020. [7] He was soon signed on the opening day of free agency to a one-year, two-way contract with the Colorado Avalanche, [8] who then re-signed him to another one-year, two-way deal on July 22, 2021. [9]

As a free agent again preceding the 2022–23 season, Sherwood was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Nashville Predators on July 14, 2022. [10]

After playing in 68 games for the Predators and establishing himself as an NHL regular in the 2023–24 season, Sherwood signed a two-year, $3 million contract as a free agent with the Vancouver Canucks on July 1, 2024. [11]

Personal life

Sherwood was born to parents Roger and Yuko in Columbus, Ohio. [12] His younger brother Kole is also a forward in the Nashville Predators organization. [13]
