Tanner House (born April 27, 1986) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey player who spent his entire three-season career in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Oklahoma City Barons.
After spending his junior hockey years with the Canmore Eagles and Penticton Vees, and completing four seasons with the Maine Black Bears, House signed a two-year deal with the Edmonton Oilers on March 19, 2011. [1] He had served as team captain during his final two seasons at Maine and earned accolades including the Hockey East Best Defensive Forward award and the Dean Smith Award, which honours the University of Maine's top male student-athlete. [2]
After signing his contract with the Oilers, House joined their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Oklahoma City Barons, on an Amateur Tryout (ATO) agreement. He made his debut during the final stretch of the Barons' 2010–11 season, appearing in the last six regular-season games. [3] Despite the limited time, House made an immediate impact, contributing one goal and four assists.
After failing to secure a spot on the Oilers' roster out of training camp, House spent the entire 2011-12 season with the Barons. [4] He appeared in 68 games, maintaining his role as a reliable defensive forward, contributing 20 points, and frequently being tasked with penalty killing and neutralizing key opponents. [5] He returned to the Barons for the 2012-13 season but played in only 55 of the team's 76 games. Following that season, the Oilers chose not to renew his contract, marking the end of his professional hockey career.
