Pavol Regenda (born 7 December 1999) is a Slovak professional ice hockey player for the San Diego Gulls of the American Hockey League (AHL), as a prospect for the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career[edit]

During the 2021–22 season, he recorded 15 goals and 24 assists in 43 games for HK Dukla Michalovce. He was the top scorer in the Extraliga among players 22 and under.[1]

Following two break-out seasons with Dukla Michalovce, Regenda was originally signed to a contract in the Czech Extraliga with BK Mladá Boleslav on 1 May 2022.[2] However, after a strong showing in the World Championships, Regenda used his National Hockey League (NHL) out-clause to break his contract with BK Mladá Boleslav, and on 1 June 2022, he was signed by the Anaheim Ducks to a two-year, entry-level contract beginning with the 2022–23 NHL season.[3] He began the season with the Ducks, registering two points in five games. On 31 October 2022, he was assigned to the Ducks' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the San Diego Gulls.[4] He was recalled by the Ducks and scored his first NHL goal against Filip Gustavsson in a 4–1 loss to the Minnesota Wild on 9 November 2022.[5] Regenda continued to bounce between the NHL and AHL for the season, finishing with 14 games played with Anaheim, scoring one goal and three points.[6]

Regenda was invited to the Ducks 2023 training camp, but was assigned to the Gulls on 4 October 2023 to begin the 2023–24 season.[7] He was recalled in March and made his NHL season debut for the Ducks against the Ottawa Senators on 6 March 2024.[6]
