Playing career[]
Undrafted, Josh Currie played major junior hockey with the Prince Edward Island Rocket of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). Currie was rewarded for his outstanding play during the 2012–13 QMJHL season by being named to the QMJHL's First All-Star Team.[1]
Josh Currie made his professional debut in the ECHL with the Gwinnett Gladiators before signing for his second season in the ECHL with the Bakersfield Condors on August 27. 2014.[2]
In 2015, the Edmonton Oilers moved their American Hockey League franchise to become the Bakersfield Condors and the ECHL Condors team was displaced. On August 19, 2015, Currie continued with the former ECHL Condors' franchise, agreeing to a one-year deal with the now relocated Norfolk Admirals in the ECHL.[3] He signed a two-year AHL contract to return to Bakersfield with the AHL Condors on July 6, 2017.[4]
On July 19, 2018, after impressing in each of his three seasons with the Condors, Currie was signed to his first NHL contract in agreeing to a two-year, two-way contract with the Edmonton Oilers.[5] He earned his first NHL recall by the Oilers on February 18, 2019.[6]
On October 9, 2020, having left the Oilers organization, Currie was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins.[7] Currie made 1 appearance with the Penguins during the pandemic delayed 2020–21 season, before he was reassigned for the remainder of the campaign, to captain AHL affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
At the conclusion of the season Currie left the Penguins organization as an impending free agent and signed a one-year contract with Russian club, Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the KHL, on June 11, 2021.[8]
