Playing career
[edit]Gatcomb played collegiate hockey with the University of Connecticut in the Hockey East. Following the completion of his senior season with the Huskies in 2021–22, Gatcomb immediately turned professional after signing a contract to join the Abbotsford Canucks of the AHL on April 3, 2022.[1]
Following his second full season with Abbotsford, Gatcomb was signed as an undrafted free agent to a one-year, two-way NHL contract with the New York Islanders on July 4, 2024.[2] In the 2024–25 season, Gatcomb was initially re-assigned by New York to its AHL affiliate, the Bridgeport Islanders. At the mid-point of the season, Gatcomb was recalled by the Islanders and made his NHL debut in a regular season game against the Ottawa Senators on January 14, 2025.[3][4]
As a pending restricted free agent, Gatcomb was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Islanders, ending his tenure with the club.[5] As a free agent, Gatcomb was signed to a two-year, $1.75 million contract with the Vegas Golden Knights on July 1, 2026.[6]
