Nicholas Lawrence Bonino (born April 20, 1988) is an American professional ice hockey center for the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL). He has also played for the Vancouver Canucks and Anaheim Ducks. Bonino was born in Hartford, Connecticut and grew up in Farmington, Connecticut.
Bonino began his high school career at Farmington High School in Connecticut, where he amassed 91 points in 24 games as a junior and led the school to its first state championship. He then transferred to Avon Old Farms, playing for legendary coach John Gardner. While at Avon Old Farms, Bonino captained a New England Championship hockey team in 2007.
Bonino played his collegiate career at Boston University. While a sophomore at the university, Bonino led the Boston Terriers to a NCAA National Championship over Miami University by first providing an assist to Zach Cohen to bring the Terriers within one goal, and then by scoring the game-tying goal with 17.4 seconds left in the third period to force overtime.
Bonino was drafted by the San Jose Sharks in the sixth round, 173rd overall, in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. His rights were later traded to the Anaheim Ducks with goaltender Timo Pielmeier in exchange for Travis Moen and Kent Huskins on March 4, 2009. On March 21, 2010, Bonino signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Ducks. After signing with Anaheim, he immediately joined the team, making his NHL debut on March 26, 2010, in a game against the Edmonton Oilers. He scored his first NHL goal in Anaheim's next game, three nights later, against the Dallas Stars; the goal was assisted by Teemu Selänne. He finished the year playing in nine games and registering one goal and one assist with six penalties in minutes.
