Kyle Cumiskey (born December 2, 1986) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who is currently playing with the Düsseldorfer EG in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).

[citation needed] Cumiskey played most of the 2006–07 season for the Albany River Rats of the American Hockey League but appeared in nine games for the Avalanche.

[3] Although he was recalled by Anaheim on multiple occasions, Cumiskey never made his debut for the Ducks, playing in 57 games with AHL affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch.

[citation needed] On July 8, 2012, with his NHL rights still owned by the Ducks, Cumiskey signed abroad to a one-year deal with Modo Hockey of the Swedish Elitserien.

[citation needed] On June 18, 2013, with the intention to resume his NHL career, Cumiskey agreed to return to the Anaheim Ducks on a one-year contract.

On September 23, 2013, Cumiskey agreed to mutually terminate his contract with the Ducks and later returned to Sweden for a second consecutive season with Modo Hockey on October 2, 2013.

[citation needed] On July 2, 2014, Cumiskey returned to the NHL, signing a one-year two-way contract as a free agent with the Chicago Blackhawks.

[citation needed] In the off-season, Cumiskey underwent surgery on a lower-body injury and after going unsigned over the summer was invited to return to the Blackhawks training camp on a try-out contract.

[10] After a year’s hiatus and recovery from injury, Cumiskey opted to try and reignite his professional career, attending the Toronto Marlies 2018 training camp on a try-out basis on September 27, 2018.

With the 2020–21 North American season set to be delayed, Cumiskey opted for a European return, extending his career with a one-year contract with German club Düsseldorfer EG of the DEL, on December 13, 2020.
