Clayton Beddoes (born November 10, 1970) is a Canadian ice hockey coach and former professional ice hockey centre. He played two seasons in the National Hockey League. He is currently the head coach of Italian Serie A side WSV Sterzing.

Playing career

He spent four years playing college ice hockey at Lake Superior State University between 1990 and 1994, earning All-NCAA Second Team honors along with NCAA’s Championship All-Tournament Team and All-CCHA Second Team distinction his senior year. He also served as the Lakers’ team captain in his final year at LSSU.[1]

Beddoes was signed as a free agent by the Boston Bruins in 1994 and spent the 1994-95 season with the team's AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins. He played sixty career NHL games between 1995 and 1997, scoring two goals and eight assists for ten points.[2]

After spending the 1997-98 season with the Detroit Vipers of the International Hockey League (65 games: 22 goals, 24 assists), Beddoes signed with the Berlin Capitals of the German elite league Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) in 1998. He made 52 appearances for the Capitals in the 1998-99 DEL season, tallying 17 goals, while assisting on 26 more.[3] He spent two more years in the German top-flight, playing for Adler Mannheim and Düsseldorfer EG. He split his last season as a professional athlete (2001–02) between WCHL’s Anchorage Aces and Italian team WSV Sterzing. In 2002, Beddoes had to put an end to his playing career due to shoulder issues.

Coaching career

After his retirement in 2002, he began a coaching career in Germany. He served one year as assistant coach of DEL’s Iserlohn Roosters (2005–06),[4] followed by a two-year stint in the same position at fellow DEL side Kölner Haie. In September 2008, he was promoted to the head coaching job after the Haie organization had sacked Doug Mason,[5] but was relieved of his duties after only 71 days in that position.[6] He then joined the Frankfurt Lions’ coaching staff as an assistant for 2009-10. After the Lions’ organization had withdrawn from the German top-flight and made a fresh start in the third-division, Beddoes took over as head coach in 2010-11.[7]

He then embarked on a two-year stint as head coach of Italian Serie A club SG Cortina.[8]

The 2014-15 season saw him serve as skill and development coach of the Red Deers Rebels in the WHL.[9]

In April 2015, Beddoes was named head coach of WSV Sterzing, returning to the Serie A and the club where he spent the last days of his playing career.[10]
