Shaun Heshka (born July 30, 1985) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman, who currently plays for Oulun Kärpät of the Finnish Liiga.
Heshka played his junior years for the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League (WHL). Upon completing his time with the Silvertips, Heshka was signed by the Vancouver Canucks to a three-year entry level contract on July 24, 2006. In his professional debut season in 2006–07, Heshka played with the Canucks affiliates, the Manitoba Moose and the Victoria Salmon Kings. Following two strong and productive seasons with the Moose in the American Hockey League, Heshka's rights were traded by the Canucks to the Phoenix Coyotes at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft on June 27, 2009.
On July 3, 2010, Heshka signed a one-year contract to remain with the Coyotes. Shaun was initially assigned to the Coyotes AHL affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage to start the 2009–10 season.
After leading the Rampage defence in scoring, Heshka received his first recall from the Coyotes on November 6, 2009. He made his NHL debut the following night, in a tight game with the Anaheim Ducks on November 7. On November 12, Heshka brought home his first career NHL point, an critical assist on a Paul Bissonnette goal, in a 4-2 defeat to the Montreal Canadiens. After 8 games and 2 assists with the Coyotes, he was then reassigned to the Rampage after a number of Coyotes players returned from injuries.
