Playing career

Prior to playing for the Alaska Nanooks, Beck played for the Langley Chiefs of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL).[1] After completion of his college career, he signed with the Idaho Steelheads of the ECHL in 2014.[2] In January 2016, Beck signed with the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League (AHL).[3]

During the 2018–19 season, on November 1, 2018, Beck signed a two-year, two-way contract with Iowa's parent affiliate, the Minnesota Wild of the National Hockey League (NHL).[4]

As a free agent after five seasons with the Iowa Wild, Beck was left unsigned with the delayed 2020–21 North American season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On December 10, 2020, Beck agreed to a one-year contract with German second tier club, EV Landshut of the DEL2, however with concerns over his family's health with the birth of a newborn, and the commencement of a lockdown through Germany, Beck was released from his contract on December 16, 2020.[5]

Personal life

Beck's father, Murray, was drafted 104th overall by the Houston Aeros in the 1974 WHA Amateur Draft. His uncle, Barry, played in the NHL from 1977 to 1990.[4]
