Tyson Jost (born March 14, 1998) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward, currently playing for the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Born in St. Albert, Alberta to a single mother, Jost moved to British Columbia to grow his hockey career at the Pursuit of Excellence Hockey Academy. From there, he played with the Okanagan Rockets of the British Columbia Major Midget League and Penticton Vees of the British Columbia Hockey League to retain his NCAA eligibility. Jost played one season of NCAA Division I ice hockey with the North Dakota Fighting Sioux before being drafted 10th overall by the Colorado Avalanche in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.
Jost made his NHL debut with the Avalanche during the 2016–17 season after the Fighting Sioux fell to Boston University in the first round of the 2017 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament. He spent the following 5 seasons within the Avalanche organization moving between their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Colorado Eagles, and the NHL level. During his sixth season with the Avalanche, Jost was traded to one of their division rivals, the Minnesota Wild, where he played briefly before being waived and claimed by Buffalo.
Internationally, Jost has competed for Team Canada at both the junior and senior level, winning a gold medal with them at the 2015 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament and silver at the 2017 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships and 2019 IIHF World Championship.
