Early life
Chisholm was born on January 12, 2000, in Bowmanville, Ontario,[1] to Paul Chisholm and Erin Fagan.[2] As a young child, he battled a staphylococcal infection in his knee that required surgery; after spending some time using a walker, Chisholm joined a local youth ice hockey team, where he was placed on defence.[3]
Playing career
Junior
The Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) selected Chisholm in the second round, 24th overall, of the 2016 OHL Priority Selection.[2] He spent four years in the OHL; during his final season, he set career highs with 13 goals, 56 assists, and 69 points, the most of any Peterborough defenceman.[4]
Professional
The Winnipeg Jets of the National Hockey League (NHL) selected Chisholm in the fifth round, 150th overall, of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, and he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the team on June 1, 2020.[4] He made his professional hockey debut on February 22, 2021, playing for the Manitoba Moose, Winnipeg's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate.[5] With the Jets' roster depleted by COVID-19 issues throughout the team, Chisholm was called up to make his NHL debut on January 13, 2022, the day after his 22nd birthday.[6] Chisholm, who had six goals and 14 points with Manitoba at the time of his call-up, was partnered with Nate Schmidt for Winnipeg's 3–0 shutout win over the Detroit Red Wings.[7][8]
Personal life
Chisholm is the grandson of Paddy Fagan, a lifelong hurling player in Ireland before he immigrated to Canada.[3]
