Taylor William Fedun (born June 4, 1988) is a Ukrainian-Canadian ice hockey defencemen. He is currently under contract to the Vancouver Canucks organization of the National Hockey League (NHL). ==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.〔(Hockey Primetime - College players begin exodus to the pros | Futures Watch | News )〕 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.〔(Oilers trim roster by twelve - Edmonton Oilers - Transactions )〕 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. Fedun suffered a complex fracture to his right femur〔(Oilers defence takes a beating in win over Wild | Hockey | Sports | Toronto Sun )〕 and missed the entire 2011–12 season after a rod was put in his leg. This was the second time the NHL's icing policy led to a fractured femur in the post-lockout era, with the previous injury occurring to former Wild defenseman Kurtis Foster in 2007. The icing rule was changed for the 2013-14 season to reduce the risk for potentially damaging collisions.〔(Hybrid icing tops list of rule changes for 2013-14 ). NHL.com Retrieved September 30, 2013.〕 Fedun scored his first NHL goal on November 5, 2013 against Jacob Markstrom of the Florida Panthers. With the Oilers not tendering Fedun a qualifying offer, he was released to free agency and on July 1, 2014, signed a one-year contract with the San Jose Sharks. On July 1, 2015, Fedun returned to Western Canada, signing a one-year, two-way contract as a free agent with the Vancouver Canucks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taylor Fedun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
