Nathan Perkovich (born October 15, 1985) is a retired Croatian American professional ice hockey forward. Selected 250th overall by the New Jersey Devils during the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, Perkovich also competed for Croatia at the 2015 IIHF World Championship Division I.

Playing career

Before turning professional, Perkovich spent three seasons playing NCAA Division I hockey at Lake Superior State University.

He devoted seven seasons to Croatian team KHL Medveščak Zagreb, including their transition from the Kontinental Hockey League back to the Austrian EBEL. In October 2018, he agreed to a one-year deal with the Florida Everblades of the ECHL for the 2018–19 campaign.

In August 2019, Perkovich signed with the Greenville Swamp Rabbits in the ECHL for the 2019–20 season. Serving as an experienced leader, he tallied 27 assists and accumulated 46 points over 58 games before the season was prematurely ended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Following the conclusion of his contract, Perkovich joined the Jacksonville Icemen in August 2020 but appeared in only one game before transferring internationally to Hungarian club Újpesti TE of the Erste Liga in January 2021.

He returned to play for the Florida Everblades during the 2021–22 season and contributed to their Kelly Cup victory.
