John Negrin (born March 26, 1989) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey defenseman. Selected 70th overall by the Calgary Flames in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, Negrin played in three NHL contests but spent the majority of his career competing in the American Hockey League (AHL).

Playing career

Negrin's early development occurred within the Western Hockey League (WHL), where he suited up for both the Kootenay Ice and Swift Current Broncos during the 2008–09 campaign. Following his junior tenure, he was assigned to the Quad City Flames but was swiftly called up to Calgary, making his NHL debut on April 3, 2009. His rookie professional season with Abbotsford was curtailed to 45 games due to a wrist fracture.

On January 30, 2012, Negrin was traded to the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for forward Akim Aliu and subsequently assigned to their AHL affiliate, the St. John's IceCaps. In August 2012, he inked a deal with the AHL's Chicago Wolves, although he spent a considerable portion of the 2012–13 season with their ECHL affiliate, the Kalamazoo Wings. During February 2013, Negrin was loaned to the AHL's Lake Erie Monsters, participating in 17 games.

In July 2013, Negrin agreed to a one-year AHL contract with the Utica Comets, affiliated with the Vancouver Canucks, where he remained for four seasons. After remaining unsigned at the start of the 2017–18 season, he signed with Norwegian GET-ligaen club Lørenskog IK in October 2017.

Negrin joined British Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) side Manchester Storm in August 2019.
