Taylor William Fedun (born June 4, 1988) is a Ukrainian-Canadian ice hockey defencemen. He is currently playing with the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL).^[1]

Playing career

Following his 2010–11 standout season playing Division I hockey with the Princeton Tigers, Fedun was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Edmonton Oilers.^[2]

Fedun impressed the Oilers at the 2011 Young Stars Tournament in Penticton, British Columbia, and continued to impress throughout the Oilers' pre-season games, remaining on the roster after other young high performers, such as Tyler Pitlick and Curtis Hamilton, have been sent to the Oilers' AHL farm team, the Oklahoma City Barons.^[3]

Prior to the 2011–12 season, when the Oilers' roster sat at 32 players, with 9 more needing to be cut before the team's final roster was made, Fedun was tripped by the Minnesota Wild's forward, Eric Nystrom, and fractured his femur during a preseason game while attempting to retrieve the puck and force an icing. This is the second time the NHL's icing policy has led to a fractured femur in the post-lockout era, with the last injury occurring to former Wild defenseman Kurtis Foster in 2007. Fedun suffered a complex fracture to his right femur, ending his 2011 drive to make the Oilers' roster opening night and his season.^[4] Fedun missed the entire 2011–12 season after a rod was put in his leg.

Fedun scored his first NHL goal on November 5, 2013 against Jacob Markstrom of the Florida Panthers.^[5]
