Christian Dvorak (born February 2, 1996) is an American professional ice hockey forward who is currently playing with the Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Dvorak started his playing career with the Chicago Mission U16 and U18 teams. After his impressive seasons in Chicago he was chosen 6th overall in the USHL Futures Draft, and in the 8th Round of the 2012 OHL Draft. He played the 2012–13 season with the Chicago Steel in the USHL, but the following year decided to move to Canada to play for the London Knights of the OHL.
After the 2013–14 season, he was drafted in the second round of the NHL Entry Draft by the Arizona Coyotes, who also drafted his former and current teammates Max Domi and Brendan Burke.
His rise to stardom began in the 2014–15 season, where he was second on the team with a staggering 109 points, only behind prodigy Mitchell Marner. On April 18, 2015, Dvorak signed his first professional contract, agreeing to a three-year, entry-level deal with the Arizona Coyotes. He was assigned on an amateur try-out contract to make his professional debut with AHL affiliate, the Portland Pirates.
He was named co-captain of the Knights at the beginning of the 2015–16 season, sharing the honor with Marner. Throughout the season, Dvorak played on the top line alongside teammates Marner and Matthew Tkachuk. At the season's end, he led the team with 121 points, surpassing his previous score.
Dvorak made his junior international debut when he played for the United States under-20 Hockey team in the 2016 World Junior Championships tournament, winning a bronze medal .
