Matthew Bailey (born April 5, 1991) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player. He is currently playing with Mora IK in the Swedish HockeyAllsvenskan (Allsv).

Playing career

Bailey played for the Alaska Anchorage Seawolves in the NCAA Men's Division I Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA). In his senior year, Bailey's outstanding play was rewarded with a selection to the 2013–14 All-WCHA First Team.[1]

On March 26, 2014, the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL) signed Bailey as an undrafted free agent to a two-year entry-level contract[2] and on March 28, 2014, he made his professional debut with the Norfolk Admirals of the American Hockey League.[3]

At the conclusion of his entry-level contract with the Ducks, Bailey was not tendered a qualifying offer in order to retain his rights on June 27, 2016.[4] As a free agent, Bailey belatedly signed to a one-year AHL contract with the Stockton Heat, the primary affiliate to the Calgary Flames on September 6, 2016.[5] In the 2016–17 season, Bailey split between the Flames' AHL and ECHL affiliates, appearing in 17 games for 7 points with the Heat before opting to sign his first contract abroad in agreeing to join Swedish second division club, Mora IK in their upcoming playoff quest on February 10, 2017.[6]
