Mitch Holmberg (born March 9, 1993) is a Canadian ice hockey player. He is currently playing for the second team of Alba Volán Székesfehérvár in the MOL Liga (MOL).
Holmberg played midget hockey with the Sherwood Park Kings in the Alberta Midget Hockey League before he was selected by the Spokane Chiefs in the first round (21st overall) of the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft.[1] After completing his junior eligibility with the Chiefs in the Western Hockey League, Holmberg was signed to an AHL contract for the following 2014–15 season with the Oklahoma City Barons on April 1, 2014.[2] He made his professional debut a day later with the Barons and on April 4 finished his season in the playoffs with ECHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors.
On November 20, 2014, Holmberg's AHL rights were traded to the Utica Comets in a transaction between the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers.[3] He was later re-assigned by the Comets to ECHL club, the Elmira Jackals for the remainder of the 2014–15 season.[4]
As a free agent, Holmberg signed his first contract abroad, agreeing to a one-year deal with the farm club of Hungarian based, Alba Volán Székesfehérvár on August 24, 2015.[5]
