Zane McIntyre (born Gothberg; August 20, 1992) is a professional ice hockey goaltender from the United States, presently playing for the Straubing Tigers in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). He was chosen by the Boston Bruins as the 165th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
McIntyre developed his skills in junior hockey with the Fargo Force of the United States Hockey League (USHL), where he was honored as the USHL Goaltender of the Year for the 2011–12 season. Following this achievement, he committed to play collegiate hockey at the University of North Dakota, competing at the NCAA Division I level within the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC).
Upon completing his junior year in 2014–15, McIntyre inked a two-year entry-level contract with the Boston Bruins on June 23, 2015. An injury to Bruins' starting goalie Tuukka Rask early in the 2016–17 season led to McIntyre making his NHL debut on October 25, 2016. He participated in two NHL games that season. On July 14, 2017, he extended his tenure with Boston by signing a two-year, two-way contract valued at $650,000 per year.
After spending four seasons within the Bruins organization, McIntyre agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Vancouver Canucks on July 1, 2019. He was assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets, where he split starting responsibilities and recorded 11 victories across 24 appearances. Although briefly recalled by Vancouver, he did not get ice time with the NHL club.
On February 24, 2020, McIntyre was traded to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for goaltender Louis Domingue and was subsequently assigned to their AHL team, the Binghamton Devils.
As a free agent on October 26, 2020, McIntyre embarked on his first international contract by signing with Dinamo Riga of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). After appearing in six games, both parties agreed to terminate his contract mutually, prompting his return to North America. During the pandemic-delayed 2020–21 season, he attended Arizona Coyotes' training camp on a professional tryout basis but was released before the season started. Subsequently, he secured a one-year AHL contract with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on January 18, 2021.
In November 2021, McIntyre joined the Tucson Roadrunners (AHL) on a professional tryout agreement and achieved two wins in three outings. On January 4, 2022, he earned a one-year, two-way NHL contract with the Minnesota Wild and was assigned to their AHL affiliate Iowa Wild.
Following three seasons within Minnesota’s system, McIntyre returned to European competition by signing a one-year deal with Germany's Straubing Tigers of the DEL on July 11, 2024.
