"Selected in the fourth round by Toronto back in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, Hildeby officially brought his game to North America during the 2023-24 season starring for the Leafs' AHL affiliate Toronto Marlies. In 41 games played, he posted a stellar 21-11-7 record with a 2.41 GAA and .913 save percentage while helping the Marlies reach the AHL playoffs."
"More significantly, Hildeby made his NHL debut for the Maple Leafs last year when Toronto was hit with injury woes to their goalies over the course of the 2024-25 season. The 24-year-old goalie was strong in his first official NHL game against the New Jersey Devils on October 10 where he stopped 21 of 23 shots en route to a 4-2 victory and his first ever NHL win."
