Brendan Shinnimin (born January 7, 1991) is a Canadian professional ice hockey Center who is currently playing as a prospect for the Arizona Coyotes organization of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

Shinnimin played junior hockey for the Tri-City Americans of the Western Hockey League (WHL). Shinnimin was the WHL's leading scoring for the 2011–12 WHL season with 134 points, earning him the 2012 Bob Clarke Trophy.[1][2][3] He not only led the WHL in scoring, but was the leading scorer in the entire Canadian Hockey League.[3] He won the Four Broncos Memorial Trophy in 2012 as the WHL Player of the Year and was a unanimous pick as a Western Conference first team all-star.[4][5] He ended his junior career with a 38 game point scoring streak, beginning on February 3, 2012, during which he scored 83 points.[6] In 2010-11, he was named a WHL second-team all-star.[7]

On October 19, 2010, Shinnimin was given a 12-game suspension - the longest in that league over the past four seasons – for his “dangerous hit-from-behind” which resulted in a concussion and a bruised back for Josh Nicholls of the Saskatoon Blades.[8] In 2009, he played for Team WHL in the Subway Super Series against a team of Russian junior all-stars.[9]

Shinnimin was not drafted in the NHL Entry Draft.[10] On March 2, 2012, the Phoenix Coyotes of the National Hockey League signed Shinnimin as a free-agent to a three-year entry-level contract.[11]

Following the 2014–15 NHL season Shinnimin became a restricted free agent under the NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Arizona Coyotes made him a qualifying offer to retain his NHL rights and, on July 5, 2015, Shinnimin filed for Salary Arbitration.[12]
