Cale Makar is one of the most popular and richest Ice Hockey Player who was born on October 30, 1998 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Cale Douglas Makar, a Canadian professional ice hockey defenseman, was born October 30, 1998. He currently plays for the Colorado Avalanche (NHL). The Avalanche selected him in the fourth round of the NHL Entry Draft 2017.

Makar returned to Calgary Flames to play at the minor-midget level. In his one full season in 2014-15, Makar was the team’s most valuable player with 23 points in 34 league matches. He was also named to the Alberta Midget Hockey League First All-Star Team. Makar was an affiliate player to Brooks Bandits, the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), in order to retain NCAA eligibility. He scored five points in three regular-season games. Makar, a third-ranked defenceman with seven points in 20 games, helped the Bandits reach finals. Having agreed to return with the Bandits in the forthcoming seasons, Makar announced his commitment to play collegiate hockey with the University of Massachusetts-Amherst of the Hockey East NCAA conference on August 29, 2015.

Makar was first selected by Hockey Canada to compete for Team Canada West at the World Junior A Challenge in 2015 and 2016.

Unable to defend the gold medal, Makar followed up by setting a tournament single-game record for points by a defenceman in 2016. Makar appeared for Team Canada at the World Junior Summer Showcase in Plymouth, Michigan. He had one goal and one assist during the exhibition. His single goal came at a pivotal time on August 4, 2017, against Sweden, tying the game 4–4 in the third period. The marker re-energized the Canadians as they registered three more goals to pull off a 7–4 win.

Despite his blue-chip prospect status, Makar opted to remain loyal to his commitment in joining the rebuilding UMass Minuteman program for the 2017–18 season. As a freshman, he immediately assumed a top-pairing role, alongside Jake McLaughlin, and recorded his first collegiate point in his debut against Arizona State University on October 6, 2017. He recorded his first goal in a 4–0 victory over Merrimack College on October 27, 2017.

Makar, a 17-year-old defenseman, was a standout for the Bandits in 2015-16. He logged 55 points in 54 games and earned All-League recognition and All-Rookie recognition. To help the Bandits win the AJHL title, he scored 14 points in 13 matches. His productive season earned him the AJHL Rookie of the Year and CJHL Rookie of the Year awards, the Western Canada Cup Top Defenceman Award and the RBC Cup Top Defenceman and Top Scorer awards.
