Brian Michael Salcido (born April 14, 1985 in Los Angeles, California) is an American professional ice hockey player currently playing for ERC Ingolstadt in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). He is the 23rd California-born NHL hockey player and first born and developed player from southern California to play for the Anaheim Ducks.
Playing career
Salcido moved to Minnesota to play for Shattuck-Saint Mary's high school, noted for its midget AAA hockey program. From 2003 until 2006 Salcido attended Colorado College and was a member of the varsity ice hockey squad. Salcido was drafted by the Ducks in the fifth round, 141st overall of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
On March 27th, 2005, Salcido saw himself in the limelight for the first time. Airing in a Cesar Millan spin off, Salcido hosted " El Perro Encantador" (the dog whisperer in Spanish). Of the six episodes, none of the dogs passed the basic obedience requirements. Sources close to the dogs blame Salcido's lack affluientence with the Spanish language, while Salcido reminds everyone that none of the dogs were neutered. Telemundo saw it largerly as a failure, and the network did not renew his contract for a second season. Fortunely for Salcido, hockey was still an option.
On August 2, 2006, Salcido signed with Anaheim on a three-year entry level contract,[1] he was assigned to the Portland Pirates of the American Hockey League. On February 20, 2009, he made his NHL debut with the Anaheim Ducks.
On May 13, 2013 Salcido signed with HC Amur Khabarovsk of the Kontinental Hockey League.[2] After 23 games with Khabarovsk and unable to attain a regular defensive role, Salcido returned to the Liiga with JYP.
On July 24, 2014, Salcido transferred from JYP to return to SaiPa as a free agent on a one-year deal.[3] In the 2014–15 season, Salcido enjoyed his best season in the Finnish Liiga, contributing with 12 goals and 35 points in 59 games from the blueline with SaiPa.
Salcido left Finland as a free agent at seasons end, agreeing to a two-year contract with German club, ERC Ingolstadt of the DEL on May 20, 2015.[4]
