Jason Maleyko (born May 24, 1980) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman. He is currently a scout with the Kingston Frontenacs of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).[1] Maleyko was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the sixth round (188th overall) of the 2000 NHL Entry Draft.

Maleyko played major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) with the Windsor Spitfires, Oshawa Generals, and Brampton Battalion. Joining the Battalion with the 1998–99 OHL season, Maleyko played a key role with the expansion team as he was Brampton's first pick (1st overall) in the Ontario Hockey League’s 1998 Expansion Draft, he scored the franchise's first goal, and was also the team's first captain, wearing the “C” for all three seasons that he played with the club.[2][3]

In 2001, following his major junior career, Maleyko enrolled at Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he played two seasons of CIS hockey within the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) conference. He was recognized for his outstanding play in his first year when he was named to the 2001–02 AUS Second All-Star Team, and again the following year when he was named to the 2002–03 AUS First All-Star Team and the CIS All-Canadian Team.[4]

Maleyko turned professional to play with the Reading Royals of the ECHL, but was traded to the Cincinnati Cyclones midway through the 2003–04 season in exchange for defenceman Reagan Rome.[5] In his rookie year, Maleyko was selected to play in the 2004 ECHL All-Star Game.[6] In 2004 he joined the Toledo Storm where he skated until retiring as a player following the 2005–06 ECHL season.

Maleyko has stayed in hockey; acting as an assistant coach with the Belle River Canadiens of the Great Lakes Junior C Hockey League before joining the Kingston Frontenacs of the OHL as a scout.[7]
