Playing career

[edit]

The 6 ft 4in (195 cm) center was drafted by the Sudbury Wolves of the Ontario Hockey League in 1984.

He joined the OHL club after a spectacular offensive season with the New Jersey Rockets, where he netted 94 goals and 168 points in 58 games as a 16-year-old.

In 63 games with the Wolves in his rookie year, he produced 16 goals and 44 points along with a noticeable willingness to play a rough-and-tumble game, with 106 minutes in penalties.

The Quebec Nordiques selected him in the third round of the 1985 NHL draft, 57th overall. He played parts of three NHL seasons in Quebec before going to the Edmonton Oilers in the 1990–91 campaign.

Middendorf played 13 games in the National Hockey League, collecting 2 goals and 4 assists.
