Jared Davidson's story

Growing up in Edmonton, Davidson pushed through early setbacks—cut from AMHL ranks at 15 and passed over in the WHL bantam draft—by continuing his youth career with the SSAC Bulldogs in the Alberta Minor Midget Hockey League. He later attended Seattle Thunderbirds camp as a free agent and earned a contract with the club in August 2018.

In his rookie WHL season he appeared in 48 games for Seattle, finishing with two goals and two assists and scoring his first WHL goal on November 17 against the Portland Winterhawks. Though eligible for the NHL draft beginning in 2020, Davidson was not selected until 2022, when the Montreal Canadiens chose him in the fifth round, 130th overall.

As an overage junior he took on a leadership role as an alternate captain for the Thunderbirds and helped the team capture the Ed Chynoweth Cup in 2023. He then posted six points in five games at the Memorial Cup, where Seattle reached the championship game but fell to the Quebec Remparts.

Unable to reach an NHL contract immediately after junior, Davidson signed a standard player deal with the Laval Rocket for the 2023–24 AHL season. Limited opportunities did not prevent him from ranking third among Rocket rookies in goals behind Logan Mailloux and Joshua Roy. Montreal brought him onto an entry-level, two-year contract on May 31, 2024.

Davidson continued to build his game in the AHL, recording 45 points in 69 games in 2024–25 with a +25 plus–minus. With Montreal hit by injuries, he was recalled on November 14, 2025 and made his NHL debut the next day versus the Boston Bruins. Off the ice he plays both electric and acoustic guitar and practices juggling as a hobby.
