Adam Gajan (born 24 May 2004) is a Slovak ice hockey player who is a goaltender for Minnesota Duluth of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) while under contract to the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career
Junior and college
Gajan started playing ice hockey in the youth categories in Slovakia, where he grew up in the hockey environment of the Poprad region. At a young age, he decided to go abroad to continue his sports development in higher-quality competitions. Gajan played in Sweden as a junior, playing in youth and junior competitions. The Swedish goalkeeping system is known for its emphasis on technique, movement in the goal area, and reading the game, which was also reflected in his performance.
Gajan then moved to North America, where he played for the Chippewa Steel of the North American Hockey League(NAHL) and Green Bay Gamblers of the United States Hockey League (USHL). The USHL is one of the most prestigious junior leagues in the United States and serves as the main preparatory competition for the NCAA and NHL drafts. Gajan became a stable goaltender for the team and regularly appeared in regular season games.
Gajan was selected 35th overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2023 NHL entry draft. After the draft, he decided to continue his development path through college hockey.
Gajan plays in the NCAA for the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs, representing the University of Minnesota Duluth, starting in the 2024-2025 season. Playing in the NCAA allows him to combine athletic development with college while retaining his NHL draft rights. In 2025, Gajan also appeared at the prestigious international Spengler Cup tournament, where he played as a goalkeeper for the US college team and gained valuable experience at the senior international level. After the 2025-26 NCAA season, Gajan signed a two-year entry contract worth (up to) $1.05M with the Chicago Blackhawks. Gajan will likely play with the Rockford IceHogs (the AHL affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks) in 2026.
