MacKenzie Entwistle (born July 14, 1999) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player for the Charlotte Checkers in the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Florida Panthers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected by the Arizona Coyotes in the third round, 69th overall, of the 2017 NHL entry draft.
Entwistle was born on July 14, 1999, in Georgetown, Ontario, [1] to Margeret and Dave Entwistle. [2] Both parents were active in sports during their youth, his mother played volleyball, and his father played rugby at the provincial level for Ontario. [3] With his father's English heritage, Entwistle also participated in soccer, along with lacrosse and ice hockey, during his upbringing. [4]
Entwistle spent his major junior career in the Ontario Hockey League, suiting up for both the Guelph Storm and the Hamilton Bulldogs. [5]
Selected by the Arizona Coyotes in the 2017 NHL Draft, Entwistle was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks on July 12, 2018, as part of a multi-player deal that included Marcus Kruger, Jordan Maletta, Andrew Campbell, and a 2019 fifth-round pick going to Chicago in exchange for Marian Hossa, Vinnie Hinostroza, Jordan Oesterle, and a third-round pick. [6] A few months later, on October 17, 2018, the Blackhawks signed him to a three-year entry-level contract. [7]
After spending five seasons with the Blackhawks organization, Entwistle departed as a free agent and signed a one-year, two-way deal with the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Florida Panthers, on July 2, 2024. [8]
