Nathan A. Perrott (born December 8, 1976) is a Canadian athlete known for his careers in professional boxing and formerly in ice hockey. His National Hockey League (NHL) tenure spanned from 2001 to 2006, during which he played for the Nashville Predators, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Dallas Stars. Presently, he serves as a firefighter at Bruce Power located in Tiverton, Ontario.

Hockey career

Selected 44th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, Perrott did not sign with the team. Instead, he spent three and a half years within the Chicago Blackhawks system before being traded to the Nashville Predators in 2001.

Perrott made his NHL debut in the 2001–02 season, accumulating 3 points and 74 penalty minutes over 21 games. He netted his first NHL goal on April 6, 2002, against Roman Turek of the Calgary Flames. Continuing with Nashville, he was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2003 in exchange for Bob Wren. During the 2003–04 season, Perrott earned a roster spot with Toronto, contributing 3 points and amassing 174 penalty minutes across 40 games.

At the outset of the 2005–06 season, he was traded to the Dallas Stars for a sixth-round draft pick that was later used to select NHL All-Star Leo Komarov. After failing to secure another NHL contract, Perrott spent part of the 2008–09 season playing with Vityaz Chekhov in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).

Following his stint in Russia, Perrott returned to Ontario and played senior-level hockey for the Walkerton Capitals in the WOAA Senior AA Hockey League.

Boxing career

Recognized for his tough playing style on the ice, Perrott retired from professional hockey in September 2009 to transition into boxing. He won his first professional boxing match on September 11, 2009, defeating Makidi Ku Ntima by technical knockout in the fourth round.
