Jack Dougherty (born May 25, 1996) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman who is currently a prospect of the Nashville Predators in the National Hockey League (NHL). Dougherty was selected by the Predators in the second round (51st overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Dougherty was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, but grew up in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. He was rated as a top prospect[1] who was projected as a possible first round selection in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.[2] He trained with the USA Hockey National Team Development Program team during the 2013–14 season,[3] and was invited to participate in the 2013 CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game.[4] In October 2013 he committed to play for the Wisconsin Badgers men's ice hockey team of the NCAA Big Ten Conference.[5]

On July 24, 2015, Dougherty signed a three-year entry level contract with the Predators. As a result, Dougherty was sent to the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League, the team which held his major junior rights.[6]

International play

As a 16-year-old he was named to the USA U17 Select team to play in the 2012 Five Nations Cup tournament held in the Czech Republic in August 2012.[7] As a 17-year-old, Dougherty was chosen to compete with the American U-18 squad at the 2013 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament[8] where he won a silver medal,[9] and he also helped Team USA capture the gold medal at the 2014 IIHF World U18 Championships.[10]
