Playing career

On April 15, 2015, at the conclusion of the

2014–15 season, Hofmann left HC Davos after three seasons and signed a four-year contract with HC Lugano worth CHF 3.2 million.[1]

Hofmann was invited to the 2017 Carolina Hurricanes rookie camp in September.

In the final year of his contract with Lugano, Hofmann agreed to a four-year contract worth CHF 4.8 million with

2019–20 season and runs through the 2022–23 season.[2]

While leading Zug in scoring through the

2020–21 season, on February 13, 2021, Hofmann's NHL rights were traded from the Carolina Hurricanes to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for a 2022 7th round pick.[3]

On June 14, 2021, Hofmann agreed as a free agent to a one-year one-way contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League (NHL).[4] In his debut North American season, Hofmann made the Blue Jackets roster to start the 2021–22 season. On 14 October 2021, Hofmann made his long-awaited NHL debut against the Arizona Coyotes. On 25 October 2021, Hofmann scored his first NHL goal against the Dallas Stars.[5] Hofmann registered two goals and 7 points through 24 regular season games before he was granted permission to return to Switzerland for the birth of his first child on 30 December 2021.[6] Following the birth, Hofmann opted to remain in Switzerland due to family considerations, and he was suspended by the Blue Jackets on 10 January 2022.[7] On 14 January 2022, Hofmann cleared waivers and the Blue Jackets terminated his contract, allowing him to return to EV Zug.[8]
