Matthew J. DelGuidice (born March 5, 1967) is a retired American professional ice hockey goaltender. He appeared in 11 games for the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League during the 1991-1992 seasons. The rest of his playing tenure, which lasted from 1990 until 1999, took place across multiple minor league teams.

Playing career

DelGuidice's hockey journey started at the high school level in Connecticut, where he secured a state championship with Notre Dame and a Division 2 championship at Williston Northampton School. He competed in NCAA hockey for St. Anselm College in the 1986-87 season, achieving a 13-11-3 record alongside a .916 save percentage, which earned him Second Team All-American recognition.

Selected 77th overall by the Boston Bruins in the 1987 NHL Entry Draft, DelGuidice transferred to the University of Maine and did not play during the 1987-88 season. Over the subsequent two years, he shared goaltending responsibilities with Scott King, compiling commendable statistics in both regular season and playoff contests.

Embarking on his professional career in 1990-91, DelGuidice became the primary goaltender for the Maine Mariners in the AHL, participating in 52 games with a record of 23-18-9. That same season marked his NHL debut with Boston, where he appeared briefly as a relief goalie. During the 1991-92 campaign, he acted as Boston’s backup netminder, appearing in ten NHL matches and recording a 2-5-1 win-loss-tie record. Subsequent years involved returns to AHL affiliates and short-term assignments in the IHL.

In the absence of an NHL contract for the 1993-94 season, DelGuidice predominantly played for the Raleigh IceCaps of the ECHL, posting an 18-9-4 record and contributing strongly during playoff action. He also made limited appearances with AHL teams Albany River Rats and Springfield Indians.

The following years saw him move frequently among ECHL squads such as the Nashville Knights, Charlotte Checkers, and Roanoke Express, along with brief IHL engagements. Between 1996 and 1999, he competed in the Western Professional Hockey League with teams including Amarillo Rattlers and Monroe Moccasins before finishing his playing days with the Corpus Christi Ice Rays.

On the international stage, DelGuidice trained with Team USA for the Labbats Blue Canada Cup in 1991 and took part in pre-Olympic tournaments, including professional play within Germany’s Elite League.

Additionally, from 1994 through 1996, he played roller hockey professionally in Roller Hockey International, appearing in 37 games for franchises such as the San Diego Barracudas, New Jersey Rockin' Rollers, and Ottawa Loggers.

Post-hockey career

Following his retirement from professional hockey, DelGuidice moved to Chicago in 2000 and began working at an industrial auction firm where he has amassed over ten years of industry experience.

Personal life

While residing in Chicago, DelGuidice met Christine, an IT professional employed at a leading accounting company. The couple became engaged on December 25, 2006, tied the knot in 2009, and have two children together. They currently live in Chicago.
