# Adin Hill

Adin Hill (born May 11, 1996) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender for the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL). Hill was selected by the Arizona Coyotes, 76th overall, in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. He has also played with the San Jose Sharks. As their starting goaltender, Hill won the Stanley Cup with the Golden Knights in 2023.

## Playing career
### Junior

Hill played bantam junior hockey with the Calgary Bisons before later developing at the midget level with the Calgary Buffaloes in the Alberta Midget Hockey League. He spent the duration of the 2013–14 season with the Calgary Canucks in the Alberta Junior Hockey League before ending the season playing four games of major junior hockey with the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League.
He spent the entirety of the 2014–15 season with the Winterhawks, where he had a 31–11–1 record and a league-best .921 save percentage. At season's end, he was selected in the third round, 76th overall, by the Arizona Coyotes in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.

### Arizona Coyotes (2016–2021)

On April 6, 2016, the Coyotes signed Hill to a three-year, entry-level contract. He played for two of the Coyotes' affiliates during the 2016–17 season (the Tucson Roadrunners of the American Hockey League (AHL) and the Rapid City Rush of the ECHL).
Hill began the 2017–18 season with the Roadrunners. However, he was recalled by the Coyotes on October 16, 2017. On October 17, he made his NHL debut, stopping 31 shots in a 3–1 loss to the Dallas Stars. The debut also made him the first goaltender selected in the 2015 draft to appear in an NHL game. On March 13, 2018, Hill recorded his first career win in a 4–3 shootout victory over the Los Angeles Kings. He finished the season with four appearances for the club.
Hill once again began the 2018–19 season with the Roadrunners. He was recalled by the Coyotes on November 24. Hill was named the NHL Second Star of the week for the week of December 3 after posting a 3–0–0 record.
On August 3, 2019, the Coyotes re-signed Hill to a one-year, two-way contract extension. He made 13 appearances during the 2019–20 season, going 2–4–3.
On September 15, 2020, Hill signed a one-year extension with the Coyotes. In the pandemic-delayed 2020–21 season, with injuries to veteran netminders Darcy Kuemper and Antti Raanta, Hill appeared in 19 games for Arizona, earning a 9–9–1 record with a .913 save percentage (SV%) and 2.74 goals-against average (GAA) along with two shutouts. Hill co-led Arizona goaltenders in shutouts and led in save percentage and set a career-high in games played.

### San Jose Sharks (2021–2022)

On July 17, 2021, due to expansion draft considerations, Hill was traded by the Coyotes, along with a seventh-round pick to the Sharks in exchange for Josef Kořenář and a second-round pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. He signed a two-year contract with the Sharks on August 4, 2021. On November 9, 2021, he recorded a two-assist game in a 4–1 win over the Calgary Flames.

### Vegas Golden Knights (2023–present)

Hill was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights on August 29, 2022, in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2024. The Golden Knights initially acquired Hill to serve as a backup to Logan Thompson, after the team's established starting goaltender Robin Lehner would miss the entire season and backup Laurent Brossoit required hip surgery that would see him miss the opening months of the 2022–23 season. The team's goaltending situation continued to be complicated by injuries over the course of the season, with Thompson departing the lineup as a result, and Hill himself also missing time toward the end of the season, while Brossoit returned to the roster and the Golden Knights also acquired former Los Angeles Kings starter Jonathan Quick for additional depth at the position. Hill finished the regular season with a 16–7–1 record and a .915 save percentage.
The Golden Knights entered the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs as the top seed in the Western Conference, with Brossoit the team's starting goaltender and Hill as backup. However, in Game 3 of the Knights' second round series against the Edmonton Oilers, Brossoit injured himself while making a save, necessitating Hill taking over the net. He proceeded to lead the team to victory over the Oilers, reaching the Western Conference Final against the Dallas Stars. Hill allowed only twelve goals in the six-game series against Dallas, including two shutouts. The Golden Knights reached the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals against the Florida Panthers, with Hill drawing notice for a paddle save in the series opener that was dubbed "the save of the playoffs" by the Associated Press. The Golden Knights defeated the Panthers in five games, winning the Stanley Cup, with Hill observing "you dream about it every day growing up as a child." Hill finished third in voting for the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, behind teammates Jonathan Marchessault and Jack Eichel.
Following the season, Hill elected to avoid free agency and signed a two-year, $9.8 million extension to stay with the Golden Knights. Hill signed a further six-year extension with Vegas on March 14, 2025, keeping him in Vegas through the 2030–31 season.

## International play

Hill represented Canada at the 2021 IIHF World Championship where he appeared in three games and recorded one win and one loss, with a 1.73 GAA and won a gold medal.
