Jaden Schwartz (born June 25, 1992) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player and alternate captain for the Seattle Kraken of the National Hockey League (NHL). Schwartz was selected 14th overall by the St. Louis Blues in the 2010 NHL entry draft.^[2]

In 2008, Schwartz started junior hockey with the Notre Dame Hounds of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL). He continued junior hockey with the Tri-City Americans of the United States Hockey League (USHL) the next season. In 2011, Schwartz committed to play at Colorado College, where he spent two seasons.

In March 2012, Schwartz signed a contract with the Blues, where he spent most of his professional career. However, for the 2012–13 season, due to the 2012–13 NHL lockout, Schwartz spent time with the Blues' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Peoria Rivermen. This would be the only time spent in the AHL in his career. Schwartz and the Blues won the Stanley Cup in 2019, and he led the team in scoring during the playoffs. For the 2021 NHL expansion draft, Schwartz was left unprotected by the Blues, and he was selected by the Seattle Kraken.
