Mike Smith (born March 22, 1982) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender currently playing for the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League (NHL). He has previously played for the Dallas Stars, Tampa Bay Lightning, and the Arizona Coyotes. He is the 11th goaltender in NHL history to score a goal, which he did in the 2013–14 season against the Detroit Red Wings in Phoenix. A one-time NHL All-Star, he was named to the 2014 Canadian Olympic Hockey Team, winning a gold medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Smith began his hockey career in 1999 playing for his hometown Kingston Frontenacs of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). That season, he played 15 games while backing up future NHL player Andrew Raycroft (who has now retired after a spell playing with Swedish team IF Björklöven).

After the start of the 2000–01 season, Smith moved to the Sudbury Wolves, where he played 43 games, registering a 2.52 goals against average (GAA) and 0.913 save percentage in the regular season. The Wolves made it to the second round of the playoffs that year with Smith in net.
