Peter Regin's Hockey Journey
Early Career in Denmark and Sweden
Peter Regin started his professional hockey journey with the Herning Blue Fox team in Denmark. He played there from 2002 to 2005. In 2004, he was named "Rookie of the Year" for his great performance.
In the same year, the Ottawa Senators picked him in the third round of the 2004 NHL Draft. After one more season with Herning, he moved to Sweden in 2005. He joined Timrå IK in the Elitserien (now called the Swedish Hockey League). He played three seasons for Timrå, getting better each year with more goals and points.
Joining the NHL: Ottawa Senators
On June 2, 2008, Regin signed a contract with the Ottawa Senators. He first played for their minor league team, the Binghamton Senators. On January 20, 2009, he made his first appearance in an NHL game. A few days later, on January 29, he scored his very first NHL goal. This goal was also the game-winner!
Peter Regin's success in the NHL helped make ice hockey more popular in his home country of Denmark. In July 2010, the Senators signed him to a new two-year contract.
The 2010–11 season was tough for Regin. He got a serious shoulder injury in February 2011, which ended his season early. In April 2012, the Senators signed him again for another year.
Moving to Other NHL Teams
On July 5, 2013, Regin signed a one-year deal with the New York Islanders. However, he was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks in February 2014. He signed another one-year contract with the Blackhawks in July 2014.
During the Blackhawks' training camp, Regin was sent to their minor league team, the Rockford IceHogs. He played most of the 2014–15 season there.
Return to Europe: KHL and Other Leagues
In May 2015, Peter Regin decided to return to Europe. He signed a two-year contract with Jokerit, a team in the KHL. He later signed a three-year extension with Jokerit.
Regin played 262 regular season games for Jokerit, scoring 61 goals and 177 points. He was the team's top scorer for five seasons and served as captain for his last four seasons there. He returned to Jokerit for another year in September 2020.
