Playing career

On December 28, 2013, the Vancouver Canucks signed Fox as a free-agent to an entry-level contract,[1] and he was assigned to continue playing with the Erie Otters[2] where, during the 2013–14 OHL season,[3][4] he registered a career-high 64 goals in 67 games to lead the OHL in goals scored.[5]

During the 2015–16 season, his second professional year within the Canucks organization, Fox was primarily assigned to secondary affiliate, the Kalamazoo Wings of the ECHL. In leading the Wings in scoring with 50 points in 53 games, Fox was still unable to gain promotion to the AHL with the Utica Comets on a full-time basis and on March 7, 2016, Fox was traded by the Canucks to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for future considerations, in which a minor-league loan of players was completed.[6] Fox was directly assigned to the AHL with the Charlotte Checkers.

As a free agent in the off-season from the Hurricanes, Fox opted to continue in the ECHL, signing a one-year deal with the Missouri Mavericks on August 25, 2016.[7]

Approaching his fourth European season, Fox after a one-year stint in the Danish Metal Ligaen with the Frederikshavn White Hawks, opted to return to former club and newly renamed, Nürnberg Ice Tigers of the DEL, on August 16, 2020.[8]

Personal

Dane Fox was born in Chatham, Ontario on October 13, 1993, to Carla and Kevin Fox. He was raised at his family's soy bean farm in Thamesville, Ontario alongside his sister Megan and brother Trent.[9]
