Nathan Perkovich (born October 15, 1985) is a Croatian American former professional ice hockey player. He was selected by the New Jersey Devils in the 8th round (250th overall) of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. In 2015, Perkovich played for the Croatian national team at the IIHF World Championship Division I.[1]

Playing career

[edit]

Before turning professional Perkovich played three years at NCAA Division 1 Lake Superior State University, in Sault Sainte Marie, MI.

Approaching his seventh season with Croatian club, KHL Medveščak Zagreb, he began the second season of their return from the Kontinental Hockey League to the EBEL, before returning to North America after securing a one-year contract for the 2018–19 season with the Florida Everblades of the ECHL on October 18, 2018.[2]

On August 5, 2019, the Greenville Swamp Rabbits of the ECHL announced that Perkovich had signed a standard player contract for the 2019–20 season.[3] As a veteran for the Swamp Rabbits, Perkovich improved upon his previous season totals, recording 27 assists and 46 points in 58 regular season games before the remainder of the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Having left the Swamp Rabbits at the conclusion of his contract, Perkovich continued in the ECHL by agreeing to terms with the Jacksonville Icemen on August 25, 2020.[4] He made a solitary appearance with the Icemen before securing a contract abroad with Hungarian club, Újpesti TE of the Erste Liga, on January 19, 2021.

He returned to the Florida Everblades for the 2021–22 season, where he won the Kelly Cup.
