Matthew Spiller

Due to his hulking size and defensive promise, Spiller was selected as the first pick in the second round of the 2001 Entry Draft.

Spiller spent the next three seasons within the Coyotes organization, playing primarily with American Hockey League affiliates.

As a free agent, Spiller agreed to sign in the Czech Extraliga with HC Bílí Tygři Liberec, however failing to adapt to the European game after 8 games, he returned to the North American minor league ranks in joining the Bloomington PrairieThunder of the Central Hockey League for the 2009–10 season.

Spiller spent two-years away from professional hockey before attempting a brief comeback in the ECHL with the Florida Everblades in the 2012–13 season.
