Josh Healey is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who is currently playing for the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League.Playing career
Healey began his career in the Alberta Junior Hockey League, playing parts of three seasons for the Sherwood Park Crusaders between 2010 and 2013. While Healey went unselected in the NHL Entry Draft, he attracted American college interest and committed to The Ohio State University to play for the Buckeyes beginning with the 2013–14 Division I season.
Healey played with Ohio State for four years, emerging as one of the top players on the Big Ten team. He was named to the Big Ten's year-end all-star teams twice: to the first team in 2015–16 Division I season, and to the second team in 2016–17. During his final season with the team, on February 13, 2017, Healey was suspended two games by the Big Ten for a high hit against the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers. One NHL scout remarked of Healey that he "hits too hard for college hockey," but that "his game will be better suited for pro." Just over a month later, Healey turned professional by signing a two-year entry-level deal with the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League.
At the conclusion of his entry-level deal with the Flames, Healey was not tendered a qualifying offer on June 25, 2019, enabling him to become a free agent. He was signed to a one-year AHL contract with the Milwaukee Admirals, affiliate to the Nashville Predators on August 2, 2019.Career statistics
