Calle Clang (born 20 May 2002) is a Swedish professional ice hockey goaltender who currently plays for the San Diego Gulls of the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract as a prospect to the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Clang was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the third round of the 2020 NHL entry draft.[1]
Clang played as a youth within Swedish club, Rögle BK. He made his professional debut with Kristianstads IK in the HockeyAllsvenskan (Allsv) during the 2020–21 season while on loan from Rögle BK. He made his Swedish Hockey League (SHL) debut, appearing in relief in one game during the campaign.
Clang’s NHL rights were held by the Penguins until 21 March 2022, when Clang, along with forwards Zach Aston-Reese and Dominik Simon, and a second-round pick in the 2022 NHL entry draft, was traded by Pittsburgh to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forward Rickard Rakell at the trade deadline.[2]
On 5 May 2022, Clang was signed to a three-year entry-level contract by the Anaheim Ducks.[3] He was returned on loan to Rögle BK to continue his development in the SHL in the 2022–23 season.
During the 2023–24 season, on 8 December 2023, Clang was recalled by Anaheim while goaltender John Gibson was placed on the non-roster list. Gibson was with his wife as she gave birth to a child.[4] Clang did not feature with the Ducks during his recall before he was returned to the San Diego Gulls for the remainder of the season.
