'''Nolan Baumgartner''' (born March 23, 1976) is a Canadian professional [[ice hockey]] coach and former player. He is currently an assistant coach for the [[Ottawa Senators]] of the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL). He was formerly an assistant coach with the [[Vancouver Canucks]] of the NHL. Baumgartner was selected by the [[Washington Capitals]] in the 1st round (10th overall) of the [[1994 NHL Entry Draft]]. He played parts of ten seasons in the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) for six different teams between 1995 and 2010. Baumgartner played only one full season in the NHL, 2005–06 with the Vancouver Canucks, and spent most of his playing career in the AHL.

==Playing career==
Coming off a [[1994 Memorial Cup]] championship with the [[Kamloops Blazers]] of the [[Western Hockey League|WHL]], Baumgartner was chosen by the [[Washington Capitals]] in the first round, 10th overall of the [[1994 NHL Entry Draft]]. Upon being drafted, he returned to the WHL and joined future NHLers [[Darcy Tucker]], [[Shane Doan]] and [[Jarome Iginla]] to capture a second consecutive [[Memorial Cup]] in [[1995 Memorial Cup|1995]]. Baumgartner was named to the Memorial Cup All-Star Team for the second consecutive year. En route to the CHL championship, Baumgartner was distinguished with the [[airBC Trophy]] as the WHL playoffs MVP after scoring 17 points in 21 games and at the season's end, he was also awarded the [[Bill Hunter Trophy]] as the league's best defenceman.

Baumgartner's NHL career got off to an uneven start due to a serious shoulder injury. After playing the majority of his tenure in Washington with the Capitals' [[American Hockey League]] affiliate, the [[Portland Pirates]], he was traded to the [[Chicago Blackhawks]] on July 20, 2000, for [[Rémi Royer]].<ref name=career>{{cite web|title=Nolan Baumgartner (under 'Career Stats', 'Career notes')|url=http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app?page=PlayerDetail&playerId=8460500&service=page&tab=crst|archive-url=https://archive.today/20070808042627/http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app?page=PlayerDetail&playerId=8460500&service=page&tab=crst|url-status=dead|archive-date=2007-08-08|publisher=[[National Hockey League]]|access-date=2008-07-12}}</ref> Baumgartner would continue to play in the AHL with Chicago's minor league affiliate, the [[Norfolk Admirals (AHL)|Norfolk Admirals]].

On July 11, 2002, he was signed as a free agent by the [[Vancouver Canucks]].<ref name=career/> After one season with the Canucks, he was left unprotected for the [[2003 NHL Waiver Draft]] and selected by the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] on October 3, 2003.<ref name=career/> However, after just five games with the Penguins, he was placed on waivers again and reclaimed by Vancouver on November 1.<ref name=career/> Playing with the Canucks' AHL affiliate, Baumgartner captained the [[Manitoba Moose]] in the season of [[2003–04 NHL season|2003–04]] and scored, 27 points. As the Moose began play at the newly opened [[MTS Center]] in 2004–05, Baumgartner earned the distinction of scoring the first ever professional goal at the arena, on November 17, 2004.<ref name=ahl>{{cite web|title=1st Goal MTS Centre|url=http://richardrayphotography.com/1st-goal-mts-centre-manitoba-moose-ahl|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120404101745/http://richardrayphotography.com/1st-goal-mts-centre-manitoba-moose-ahl|archive-date=April 4, 2012|df=mdy-all}}</ref> When NHL play resumed the following season, Baumgartner cracked the Canucks regular lineup and set NHL career highs in every statistical category, as well as leading all team defencemen with 34 points.

Following Baumgartner's breakout season, he became an unrestricted free agent, and on July 1, 2006, he signed a two-year deal with the [[Philadelphia Flyers]].<ref name=career/> However, after six games, he was waived on October 17, 2006, and assigned to the [[Philadelphia Phantoms]] of the AHL a week later. Baumgartner was claimed on re-entry waivers by the [[Dallas Stars]] on February 24, 2007, and after spending the 2007–08 season with Dallas's AHL affiliate, the [[Iowa Stars]], Baumgartner was reassigned by Dallas to the Manitoba Moose.{{clarify|date=February 2011}}

On July 2, 2008, he returned for a third stint with the Canucks, signing a one-year, [[two-way contract]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Baumgartner signs two-way deal with Vancouver|url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=242270&lid=sublink03&lpos=headlines_nhl|publisher=TSN|access-date=2008-07-12|date=2008-07-02}}</ref> He continued to play in the AHL for the Moose in [[2008–09 AHL season|2008–09]] and recorded 33 points in 72 games.
