Playing career

Valentine played major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). On September 30, 2011, the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League (NHL) signed Valentine as a free agent to a three-year, entry level contract.[1] For the duration of his entry-level contract Valentine was assigned to AHL affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals.

Unsigned by the Predators, and released to free agency, Valentine began the 2014–15 season, with the Idaho Steelheads of the ECHL. After posting six assists in 12 games with the Steelheads, Valentine was signed by AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars, for the remainder of the season on November 19, 2014.[2]

As a free agent, Valentine left North America to sign a contract during the 2015–16 season in Germany with Krefeld Pinguine of the DEL on October 4, 2015.[3]

Valentine opted to continue in the German league the following season, signing as a free agent with rivals, Augsburger Panther to a one-year deal on May 13, 2016.[4]
