Sheldon Stephen Dries (/draɪz/ DR-EYE-Z;[1] born April 23, 1994) is an American professional ice hockey forward for the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Early life

Dries was born on April 23, 1994, to parents Todd and Erika Dries.[2] His father Todd and uncle played NCAA hockey for Western Michigan University.[3] His cousin Danny Dries played for Ohio State and last played professional ice hockey for Ontario Reign in the ECHL in 2014.[4]

Playing career

Amateur

Dries began playing as a junior within the T1EHL, originally with the Detroit Honeybaked Bantom program. While with the HoneyBaked, Dries and teammate Nolan Gluchowski were selected for the ATOM AAA All-Star team.[5]

During his under-16 year in 2010, his junior rights were selected in the United States Hockey League by the Green Bay Gamblers with the 22nd overall pick.[6] He was also selected in the 2010 OHL Priority Selection by the Plymouth Whalers with the 275th overall selection.[7] While playing with the T1EHL's Belle Tire in 2010–11, Dries verbally committed to play Division 1 hockey for Western Michigan University.[8] Opting to continue his American junior career, Dries joined the Gamblers of the USHL at the end of his under-18 T1EHL season, appearing in 3 scoreless games. In his first full season with Green Bay, Dries contributed with 19 goals and 19 assists in helping the Gamblers claim the Clark Cup.[9] He also graduated from Eisenhower High School in 2012.[2]

Having committed to Western Michigan University of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference, Dries appeared in 116 USHL games for 87 points before joining the Broncos as a freshman in the 2013–14 season. In establishing a checking role amongst the Broncos forwards, Dries contributed with 3 goals and 7 points in 39 games.[10] Approaching his sophomore season in 2014–15, despite his size, Dries leadership qualities were noted as he was selected as the Broncos team Captain.[11] He increased his points totals in finishing with 14 goals and 29 points in 37 games.

In his senior season with the Broncos in 2016–17, Dries as a three-year captain tallied a career-high 16 goals and 30 points in 36 games to help lead the Broncos to the NCAA Tournament. At the conclusion of the season he was selected to the NCHC Second All-Star Team. He was also named a finalist for the Defensive Forward of the Year.[12]

Professional

As an undrafted free agent, Dries was signed to a one-year American Hockey League (AHL) contract with the Texas Stars on May 10, 2017.[13] After attending the Dallas Stars 2017 NHL training camp, Dries began his rookie professional season with Texas in 2017–18. He made a quick transition to the AHL, showing a scoring touch along with a tenacity in traffic to score 19 goals and 30 points in 70 regular season games. Dries led all AHL rookies in the Calder Cup playoffs, scoring 10 goals in 22 post-season games as the Stars fell to the Toronto Marlies in the finals.[10]

On July 2, 2018, Dries was signed to his first NHL contract in agreeing to a one-year, entry-level contract with the Colorado Avalanche.[14] In the Avalanche's training camp and pre-season, Dries was a standout, taking his opportunity in surprisingly making the Avalanche's opening night roster for the 2018–19 season.[15] He made his NHL debut on the Avalanche's fourth line, playing 6 minutes in a 4–1 home opening victory over the Minnesota Wild on October 4, 2018.[16] He recorded his first career NHL goal on November 1 in a 6–5 loss to the Calgary Flames. Fellow rookie Vladislav Kamenev also scored his first NHL goal that game, making the pair the first Avalanche rookies to score their first NHL goals in the same game since January 27, 1995.[17] Continuing to play in a fourth-line role, Dries made 40 appearances throughout the season with the Avalanche, posting 3 goals and 6 points. He split the year between the Avalanche and AHL affiliate, the Colorado Eagles, adding more offense with 11 points in 25 contests. Helping the Eagles reach the 2019 Calder Cup playoffs, he recorded one goal in four playoff games. On July 25, 2019, Dries signed a one-year, two-way contact extension with the Avalanche.[18]

As a free agent from the Avalanche after three seasons within the organization, Dries was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Vancouver Canucks on July 28, 2021. During the 2023–24 season, Dries recorded 29 goals and 23 assists in 55 games for the Canucks' AHL affiliate, the Abbotsford Canucks.[19]

On July 1, 2024, Dries signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Detroit Red Wings.[20]

Personal life

Dries proposed to his girlfriend Emilee in 2018.[21]

Epidemiology of autism

Further information: Causes of autism The epidemiology of autism is the study of the incidence and distribution of autism spectrum disorders (ASD).

However, the study's 1% figure may reflect an underestimate of prevalence in low- and middle-income countries.[1][2] ASD ave...
