Early Life and Background
Trevor Lewis was born on January 8, 1987, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was raised in a family with Canadian roots, with parents Randy and Linda. Lewis began skating at the age of two and played organized hockey by the age of five. Due to the limited popularity of ice hockey in Salt Lake City, he often played on youth teams with only 12 players. He played on youth hockey teams in the Salt Lake Valley and spent a year on Brighton High School’s hockey team alongside his cousins Chase and Cooper. As a freshman in 2002, Lewis was the leading goal scorer for the Brighton Bengals, helping the team qualify for the state championships. After one year at Brighton, he moved to Colorado Springs to play for the Pike’s Peak Miners AAA team to gain more attention from scouts. In his first season with the Miners, Lewis recorded 35 goals and 22 assists, doubling his output in his second season with 118 points in 70 games.
Path to Hockey
At the age of 16, Trevor Lewis was drafted by the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders of the United States Hockey League (USHL) but did not make the team. He then moved to Texarkana to play in the North American Hockey League. Before the season started, Lewis was offered the chance to play with the Des Moines Buccaneers in the USHL, where he finished eighth in team scoring with 22 points in his first season. In his second season, he was named the USHL Player and Forward of the Year after recording 35 goals and 40 assists, earning a spot in the USHL All-Star Game. Leading up to the NHL Entry Draft, Lewis was ranked 77th by The Hockey News and was expected to be drafted late in the first round or second round. The Los Angeles Kings drafted him in the first round, 17th overall, in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. Although he had committed to play college hockey at the University of Michigan, Lewis chose to forgo post-secondary education and signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Kings.
