Travis Mitchell's story
After finishing his college career at Cornell in 2023, Mitchell entered the professional ranks despite not being selected in the NHL draft. His father, Jeff Mitchell, played in the NHL for the Dallas Stars; Travis also had a tryout with the Boston Bruins in 2021 that did not result in a contract. College hockey provided the platform that eventually earned him a pro deal.
Unsigned through the draft, he was picked up by the New York Islanders as a free agent following his collegiate season and began his pro journey with Bridgeport in the AHL in 2023. Early in his pro tenure he experienced brief recalls to the NHL club during the 2024-25 season but did not appear in a game. In the 2025-26 AHL campaign he recorded 3 assists in 12 games for Bridgeport, which preceded another recall in November 2025.
Mitchell made his NHL debut for the Islanders on November 28, 2025, against the Philadelphia Flyers. He registered his first NHL point and scored his first goal on December 11, 2025, against Anaheim goalie Ville Husso. After spending three full seasons within the Islanders organization, Mitchell became a free agent and signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Anaheim Ducks on July 1, 2026.
Listed as a defenseman, Mitchell has shown an ability to chip in offensively at the AHL level, as reflected by his assists total early in 2025-26, and he converted a midseason opportunity into NHL appearances and a first goal. Those factual milestones sketch a player who moved from the NCAA route to the professional game by way of perseverance and timely contributions.
