Playing career

[edit]

Welsh signed a one-year entry-level contract with the Hurricanes on April 5, 2012[1] and played in his first NHL game two days later against the Florida Panthers.[2] Prior to the start of the 2013–14 season Welsh was traded, along with Zac Dalpe, to the Canucks in exchange for Kellan Tochkin and a fourth round selection in the 2014 NHL Draft.[3]

Welsh scored his first NHL goal with the Canucks on November 22, 2013, against Sergei Bobrovsky of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

On July 21, 2014, Welsh signed a one-year, two-way deal as a free agent with the St. Louis Blues.[4]

After two seasons within the Blues organization, Welsh left to sign his first contract abroad, agreeing to a one-year deal with new German DEL entrant, the Fischtown Pinguins on September 1, 2016.[5] In his debut season in Germany in 2016–17, Welsh enjoyed a productive season in compiling 13 goals and 29 points in 36 games.

At the conclusion of his contract, Welsh opted to continue in the DEL, in agreeing to a one-year deal as a free agent with Düsseldorfer EG on May 17, 2017.[6]

As a free agent to begin the 2018–19 season, Welsh agreed to a try-out contract with Czech outfit, HC Dynamo Pardubice of the Czech Extraliga on November 23, 2018.[7] Welsh made 4 appearances for Pardubice, collecting 1 assist, before ending his trial with the club and returning to the DEL in securing a one-year deal for the remainder of the season with Grizzlys Wolfsburg on December 10, 2018.[8] Welsh contributed to Wolfsburg offensively with 18 points in 26 games before leaving as a free agent at the conclusion of the season on March 8, 2019.[9]

On May 5, 2019, Welsh opted to continue in the DEL, signing a one-year contract with his fourth top flight club, Krefeld Pinguine.[10]

After spending the 2020–21 season in Poland with Cracovia, Welsh agreed to join UK EIHL side Nottingham Panthers for the 2021–22 season.[11]

After two years with Nottingham, Welsh joined Romanian Erste Liga side HSC Csíkszereda in October 2023.
