Yared Hagos (born 27 March 1983) is a retired Swedish professional ice hockey centre of Ethiopian heritage. ^[1] He last competed for the Sheffield Steelers in the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) in the United Kingdom and previously played for the Krefeld Pinguine in Germany's Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). ^[2]

Playing career

Hagos began his professional hockey career in the 2000–01 season with AIK Hockey in Sweden's top league. After two seasons with AIK, he spent the next two years playing for Timrå IK. Selected by the Dallas Stars in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft as the 70th overall pick, Hagos later played two seasons with the Iowa Stars in the American Hockey League (AHL), where he tallied 44 points over 132 regular-season games. ^[3]

In the 2007–08 season, he went back to Sweden to join Mora IK. However, following the team's relegation from the Elitserien, he signed a one-year deal with the reigning 2008 Swedish champions, HV71. ^[4] Midway through the 2008–09 season, he switched teams once more, this time joining Södertälje SK. ^[5]

During the 2014–15 season, Hagos appeared in just 26 games with AIK before parting ways with the club to join his second team in the German DEL, Krefeld Pinguine, on January 19, 2015. He later agreed to a one-year contract extension with Pinguine on April 24, 2015. ^[6]

In November 2016, Hagos signed with the Sheffield Steelers, stepping in to fill the vacancy created by the departure of forward Tyler Mosienko. Following the conclusion of the season and after a professional career spanning nearly two decades across multiple countries and leagues, Hagos officially announced his retirement from professional hockey on June 13, 2017. ^[7]
