Josh Filmon (born March 18, 2004) is a Canadian ice hockey forward for the Swift Current Broncos of the Western Hockey League (WHL) as a prospect to the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected by the Devils 166th overall, in the sixth round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. [1]
Filmon was selected 67th overall, in the fourth round of the 2019 Western Hockey League (WHL) bantam draft by the Swift Current Broncos, with whom he signed a standard player contract on May 4, 2020. [2] He scored his first WHL goal against the Saskatoon Blades on March 24, 2021. [3] He finished the 2020–21 season, his first at the major junior level, with two goals in 17 games. [4]
The 2021–22 season saw Filmon improve his production drastically, to 23 goals and 45 points in 67 games, the third best point total on the team. [4] He scored his first hat-trick in the WHL on December 27, 2021, against the Lethbridge Hurricanes. [5] He was selected as one of 40 draft-eligible major junior players to play at the 2022 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game, which took place on March 26, 2022. [6] Following the season, his efforts would see him drafted 166th overall, in the sixth round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft by the New Jersey Devils. [1]
On December 16, 2022, Filmon became the first WHL player since Tyler Ennis in 2009 to score six goals in a game, reaching the total in under two periods and adding an assist for a seven-point night against the Edmonton Oil Kings. [7] He nearly scored a seventh goal on a breakaway in the third period, which would have tied the WHL record for most goals in a game. [5] Filmon was named WHL player of the week for the week ending on December 18, 2022, scoring one goal in addition to his seven-point game. [8]
At the conclusion of the 2022–23 season, Filmon's 75 points in 64 games were the best on the Broncos, his 47 goals led the team by a 21-goal margin, [9] and he was named to the WHL's first all-star team for the year. [10] With the Broncos failing to make the playoffs, Filmon signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Devils, and joined their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Utica Comets, on an amateur try-out, making his professional debut on April 4, 2023. [11] He scored his first AHL goal on April 8, 2023, against the Rochester Americans. [10]
After one preseason game with the Devils, Filmon was assigned back to Swift Current for the 2023–24 season. [12] His production decreased from the previous year, to 27 goals and 67 points in 64 games. [13] In the playoffs, Filmon's seven goals led the Broncos, who were eliminated in the second round by the Moose Jaw Warriors. [14]
Filmon represented Canada at the 2022 IIHF World U18 Championships, where he posted one assist in three games. [15]
