Ice hockey

Ice hockey

Ice hockey is a team sport played on ice skates, usually on an ice skating rink with lines and markings specific to the sport. It belongs to a family of sports called hockey. In ice hockey, two opposing teams use ice hockey sticks to control, advance, and shoot a closed, vulcanized, rubber disc called a "puck" into the other team's goal. Each goal is worth one point. The team which scores the most goals is declared the winner. In a formal game, each team has six skaters on the ice at a time, barring any penalties, one of whom is the goaltender. Ice hockey is a full contact sport, and is considered to be one of the more physically demanding sports.

Goaltender

Goaltender

In ice hockey, the goaltender is the player responsible for preventing the hockey puck from entering their team's net, thus preventing the opposing team from scoring. The goaltender mostly plays in or near the area in front of the net called the goal crease. Goaltenders tend to stay at or beyond the top of the crease to cut down on the angle of shots. In the modern age of goaltending there are two common styles, butterfly and hybrid. Because of the power of shots, the goaltender wears special equipment to protect the body from direct impact.

Playing career

Delia grew up playing youth hockey in Southern California before moving to the Amarillo Bulls of the North American Hockey League (NAHL).[1] In 2013, Delia committed to play Division 1 collegiate hockey with Merrimack College of the Hockey East.[2]

In his freshman season with the Merrimack Warriors, Delia served as a backup goaltender and was limited to nine games.[3] In his sophomore season, Delia played in 15 games before suffering an injury. He completed the season with 26 games, a new career-high 600 saves, and a .889 save percentage.[3]

In his junior season, Delia started 21 games for the Merrimack Warriors, finishing the season with a new season high in wins and a 9-8-3 record. Afterwards, he was named to the Hockey East Third Team All-Star.[3] Upon completing his junior season with the Warriors in the 2016–17 season, Delia left Merrimack in signing a two-year, entry-level contract with the Chicago Blackhawks on July 28, 2017.[4]

During the 2017–18 season, Delia initially played with the Blackhawks' AHL and ECHL affiliates in the Rockford IceHogs and Indy Fuel. He was later recalled by the Blackhawks following an injury to starter Corey Crawford, serving as backup to Anton Forsberg. After Forsberg was injured in pregame warmups, Delia made his NHL debut on March 29, 2018 against the Winnipeg Jets. Delia himself was injured early in the third period, forcing Scott Foster, whom the Blackhawks had signed to an emergency one-day contract (NHL rules require every team to have a backup goaltender dressed), to play the last 14 minutes of the game, which the Blackhawks eventually won 6–2[5]

Delia began the 2018–19 season with the IceHogs after attending the Blackhawks training camp. He was recalled in December after starter Corey Crawford suffered an injury.[6] On February 11, 2019, the Blackhawks signed Delia to a three-year, $3 million contract extension.[7] He was reassigned to the AHL on February 25[8] but was recalled again on March 5, on an emergency basis.[9] After he helped the Blackhawks hold on for a 5–4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on March 13,[10] Delia was reassigned to the IceHogs.[11]

As a free agent from the Blackhawks after five seasons within the organization, Delia was signed to a one-year, $750,000 contract with the Vancouver Canucks on July 13, 2022.[12]
