Trevor Cheek (born December 29, 1992) is an American professional ice hockey forward currently under contract with the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

Cheek first played major junior hockey in the Western Hockey League with the Calgary Hitmen in the 2010–11 season. Having increased his productivity in each season Cheek was dealt at the beginning of the 2012–13, his third with the Hitmen, to the Vancouver Giants on October 3, 2012.[1] Cheek found a role on the Giants offensive lines in compiling 18 goals in 39 games before he was again traded to contending team, the Edmonton Oil Kings on January 9, 2013.[2] Cheek scored 27 points in 31 regular season games before posting 16 points in 15 post-season games as the Oil Kings lost the Championship finals to the Portland Winterhawks.

Cheek opted to forgo his overage year in signing a three-year entry-level contract with the Colorado Avalanche on May 13, 2013.[3] After attending the Avalanche training camp, Cheek was assigned to AHL affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters to begin his first professional season in 2013–14 season. As a depth checking-line forward, Cheek appeared in 46 games with the Monsters scoring 3 goals and 8 points.
