Jared Davidson (born July 7, 2002) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected in the fifth round, 130th overall, by the Canadiens in the 2022 NHL entry draft.

Playing career

Junior

Initially being passed over in the annual Western Hockey League (WHL) bantam draft,[1] Davidson began his minor hockey career in his hometown of Edmonton with the SSAC Bulldogs of the Alberta Minor Midget Hockey League (AMMHL)[2] after being cut from Alberta Midget Hockey League (AMHL) ranks at age 15.[3] Despite this, he attended training camp with the Seattle Thunderbirds as a free agent and ultimately signed with the team in August 2018.[4] Over the course of his rookie WHL campaign, Davidson appeared in 48 games with the Thunderbirds, registering two goals and two assists including his first career WHL goal on November 17 against the Portland Winterhawks.[5][6]

Although eligible for NHL entry draft consideration beginning in 2020, Davidson would go overlooked twice until prior to his overage season in 2022,[7] where he was selected in the fifth round (130th overall) by the Montreal Canadiens.[8] Thereafter, he was named as an alternate captain for the Thunderbirds en route to his team winning the Ed Chynoweth Cup as 2022–23 WHL champions.[9][10] He then recorded six points in five games at the ensuing Memorial Cup tournament, where his team was downed by the Quebec Remparts in the championship final.[5][11]

Professional

Remaining unsigned by the Canadiens following completion of major junior, Davidson instead signed a standard player contract to join the team's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate the Laval Rocket for the 2023–24 season.[12] Despite earning limited playing time during his inaugural professional season,[13] he nonetheless ranked third among Rocket rookies in goals, trailing only teammates Logan Mailloux and Joshua Roy. For his efforts, he agreed to a two-year, entry-level contract with Montreal on May 31, 2024.[14] In 2024–25, Davidson amassed 45 points in 69 games played along with a plus–minus differential of +25.[15]

With the Canadiens experiencing multiple personnel injuries in the early stages of the 2025–26 season,[16] Davidson was recalled by Montreal on November 14, 2025.[17] The following day, he made his NHL debut in a matchup against the Boston Bruins.[18]

Personal life

Davidson plays both the electric and acoustic guitar and is an amateur juggler.[19]
