Garret Ross (born May 26, 1992) is an American professional ice hockey player. He is currently playing with the Tucson Roadrunners in the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract with the Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL). Ross was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 5th round (139th overall) of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Junior

Ross was drafted in the 2nd round, 17th overall, by the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders in the 2009 USHL Entry Draft, however he instead played four seasons ( 2009 – 2013) of major junior hockey with the Saginaw Spirit of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), registering 82 goals and 88 assists for 170 points, while earning 421 penalty minutes, in 217 games played. Ross was recognized for his outstanding performance when he was named to the 2012-13 Second All-Star Team.[1]

Professional

On April 9, 2013, the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League signed Ross to a three-year entry-level contract.[2] He was assigned to AHL primary affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs for the duration of his contract with the Blackhawks.

On July 1, 2016, Ross signed as a free agent to a one-year, two-way contract with the Arizona Coyotes.[3]

Personal

In March 2016, Ross was charged with a felony revenge porn charge for disseminating a photo of a woman engaged in a sexual act. Officials said Ross should have known that the image was to remain private, and that the woman had not consented to the dissemination.[4] The IceHogs suspended Garret indefinitely pending the outcome of his legal proceedings.[5] In March 2016, charges were dropped against Ross because the images had not been disseminated in Illinois. They were disseminated in Michigan, and the offense is a misdemeanour there.
