Kevin Baker (born June 15, 1979) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who last played for the Quad City Mallards of the ECHL. He was selected by the Los Angeles Kings in the 7th round (193rd overall) of the 1999 NHL Entry Draft.

Career

[edit]

Baker played in the juniors for a season with the Trenton Sting of the OPJHL and three seasons with the Belleville Bulls of the OHL. In 2000, he turned professional with the Lowell Lock Monsters of the AHL. 2001–02 saw him moving between the AHL and the ECHL. Between 2002 and 2006, he attended Acadia University, where he played 3 seasons (in 2002–03, he sat out the mandatory season after turning professional). Since college, he has bounced between various leagues, spending more time in the ECHL and AHL, and 2 seasons in Europe, one in Germany playing for the Schwenninger Wild Wings of the 2. Bundesliga and one in Italy playing for Ritten Sport of the Serie A.

On July 1, 2014, he re-signed for a second full season with the Arizona Sundogs of the Central Hockey League.[1] However, with the Sundogs folding and the discontinuance of the CHL, Baker signed with the Quad City Mallards of the ECHL.
