'''Andy Chiodo''' (born April 25, 1983) is a Canadian former professional [ice hockey](/source/ice_hockey) [goaltender](/source/goaltender). Chiodo played eight games in the [National Hockey League](/source/National_Hockey_League) (NHL) with the [Pittsburgh Penguins](/source/Pittsburgh_Penguins) during the [2003–04 season](/source/2003%E2%80%9304_NHL_season), for whom he is presently a goaltending coach. The rest of his career, which lasted from 2003 to 2017, was mainly spent in European leagues.

==Playing career ==
Chiodo was originally selected by the [New York Islanders](/source/New_York_Islanders) in the sixth round (166th overall) of the [2001 NHL entry draft](/source/2001_NHL_entry_draft). The Islanders were unable to sign him, and he was made draft-eligible again after the [2002–03 NHL season](/source/2002%E2%80%9303_NHL_season). The [Pittsburgh Penguins](/source/Pittsburgh_Penguins) chose him in [2003 NHL entry draft](/source/2003_NHL_entry_draft) in the seventh round with the 199th overall pick.

Prior to playing in the [Ontario Hockey League](/source/Ontario_Hockey_League), Chiodo played with the [Wexford Raiders](/source/Toronto_Jr._Canadiens) of the [Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League](/source/Ontario_Provincial_Junior_A_Hockey_League). After playing three seasons in the [Ontario Hockey League](/source/Ontario_Hockey_League) with the [Toronto St. Michael's Majors](/source/Toronto_St._Michael's_Majors), Chiodo made his professional debut with Pittsburgh's [AHL](/source/American_Hockey_League) affiliate, the [Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins](/source/Wilkes-Barre%2FScranton_Penguins), in the [2003–04 season](/source/2003%E2%80%9304_AHL_season). He also appeared in eight [NHL](/source/National_Hockey_League) games with Pittsburgh [that season](/source/2003%E2%80%9304_NHL_season).

Chiodo has spent most of his professional career with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and with Pittsburgh's [ECHL](/source/ECHL) affiliate, the [Wheeling Nailers](/source/Wheeling_Nailers). He signed with [Kärpät](/source/K%C3%A4rp%C3%A4t) in the [Finnish](/source/Finland) [SM-liiga](/source/SM-liiga) for the 2006–07 season, but was sidelined with an injury for most of the autumn. Kärpät released Chiodo from his contract in November, and he signed with [Jokerit](/source/Jokerit) for a one-month tryout, making his SM-liiga debut on November 16 against [HIFK](/source/HIFK_(ice_hockey)). After only two games, he was injured again. At the SM-liiga trade deadline in January, he signed with [HPK](/source/HPK).

On August 20, 2009, he was signed by the [Ottawa Senators](/source/Ottawa_Senators) to a one-year, [two-way contract](/source/two-way_contract). He split time between Ottawa's AHL affiliate in [Binghamton](/source/Binghamton_Senators) and their ECHL affiliate in [Elmira](/source/Elmira_Jackals). After the completion of the 2009–10 NHL season, Chiodo was not offered a new contract and became an unrestricted free agent.

Chiodo returned to Europe in signing with [EC KAC](/source/EC_KAC) for the 2010–11 EBEL season. He played in 30 games with the team and had a league-best 2.60 GAA. Chiodo led EC KAC to the 2010–11 EBHL Finals before losing to Red Bull Salzburg four games to three. On April 14, 2011, Chiodo re-signed on a two-year contract extension with Klagenfurt.

On November 7, 2013, the [Bakersfield Condors](/source/Bakersfield_Condors_(1998%E2%80%932015)) of the [ECHL](/source/ECHL) signed Chiodo for the [2013–14](/source/2013%E2%80%9314_ECHL_season) season.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://bakersfieldcondors.com/news/condors-sign-former-nhl-g-andy-chiodo/ | title = Condors sign former NHL goalie Chiodo | publisher = [Bakersfield Condors](/source/Bakersfield_Condors_(1998%E2%80%932015)) | date = 2013-11-07 | accessdate = 2013-11-07}}</ref> After just four games with the Condors, Chiodo opted to terminate his contract and returned to the Finnish Liiga with [Tappara](/source/Tappara).

On August 14, 2014, Chiodo returned to the Austrian EBEL, in signing a one-year contract with Slovenian club, [HDD Olimpija Ljubljana](/source/HDD_Olimpija_Ljubljana). In the [2014–15](/source/2014%E2%80%9315_Austrian_Hockey_League_season) season, Chiodo appeared in 39 games as Ljubljana's starting goaltender, for 14 wins. With the club out of playoff contention, on January 28, 2015, Chiodo left to play for the remainder of the season in the Finnish Liiga with [KalPa](/source/KalPa).

On April 5, 2015, Chiodo as a free agent, signed with his third EBEL club, on a one-year deal with HC TWK Innsbruck.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://haifischbecken.at/news-detail,pid,20,mbid,1284474290,smid,1430735512,lid,de.html | title = Master trio ends up in Innsbruck | publisher = [HC TWK Innsbruck](/source/HC_TWK_Innsbruck) | date = 2015-04-05 | accessdate = 2015-04-05 | language = German}}</ref>
