Michael Eyssimont's story
A gift of rollerblades at age five set Michael Eyssimont on a path from sidewalks to arenas: raised in Littleton, Colorado, he began street hockey before taking up ice skating at eight and continued roller hockey through his early teens. He developed through the Colorado Thunderbirds system, leading the Tier 1 Elite League in scoring during the 2012–13 season.
Eyssimont moved into junior hockey with the Fargo Force of the USHL, producing steadily over two seasons before a March 2015 trade sent him to the Sioux Falls Stampede. He played a major role in Sioux Falls’ playoff run and helped the Stampede capture the 2015 Clark Cup with strong postseason numbers.
Opting for college hockey, Eyssimont joined St. Cloud State and made an immediate impact, contributing to the Huskies’ NCHC tournament title and an NCAA tournament appearance. After three collegiate seasons that yielded 45 goals and 57 assists in 115 games, he was selected 142nd overall by the Los Angeles Kings in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft and turned pro following the 2018 NCAA season.
His professional career began in the AHL with the Ontario Reign. Eyssimont later signed with Winnipeg in 2021, shuttling between the Manitoba Moose and the NHL roster with the Jets and making multiple recalls. In January 2023 he was claimed off waivers by the San Jose Sharks, then traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning in March 2023. In March 2025 he was part of a large three-team deal that moved him to the Seattle Kraken, and he signed a two-year deal with the Boston Bruins on July 1, 2025.
Internationally, Eyssimont represented the United States at the 2025 IIHF World Championship and contributed offensively during the tournament that ended with a gold medal for Team USA. On the ice he is known for creating offensive opportunities, adding depth scoring and willingness to work to generate shots and chances around the net.
