The Anaheim Ducks announced a two‑year, one‑way contract extension for Tyson Hinds, keeping the 23‑year‑old under contract through the 2027‑28 NHL season.
Hinds made his NHL debut during the 2025‑26 campaign, appearing in six games and posting a +1 rating while logging two penalty minutes.
A Defensive Prospect on the Rise
His first playoff appearance came in the 2026 postseason, where he recorded an assist and became only the second Ducks player to register his initial point in the playoffs.
The assist arrived on April 24, 2026, a date that marked the franchise’s first postseason point for the young defenseman.
Before reaching the NHL, Hinds posted 11 goals, 36 assists and 47 points in 62 AHL games for the San Diego Gulls, adding 105 penalty minutes to his stat line.
In the QMJHL, he recorded 11‑43‑54 points with a league‑leading +61 rating in 2022‑23, earning the Kevin Lowe Trophy as the circuit’s top defensive defenseman.
International play saw him help Canada capture gold at the 2023 World Junior Championship, contributing two goals and a +9 rating across seven tournament games.
With the extension in place, the Ducks view Hinds as a cornerstone of their blue‑line future, expecting his defensive reliability and offensive contributions to grow in the coming seasons.
