Playing career

Prior to his professional career, Caldwell was an All-American defenceman and captained the University of Denver Pioneers to the 2004 NCAA Championship.

After two seasons in the SM-liiga with Ässät, Caldwell signed with fellow Finnish club, Lukko Rauma. During the 2012-13 season, he was mutually released from his contract and returned to the German DEL, with Eisbären Berlin.

On May 7, 2013, Caldwell was signed as a free agent to a two-year contract with the Thomas Sabo Ice Tigers.[1] In August 2014, Caldwell and the Ice Tigers mutually agreed to terminate his contract.[2]

On August 26, 2014, the Schwenninger Wild Wings announced they had signed Caldwell.[3] In the 2014–15 season, Caldwell contributed with 23 points in 52 games from the blueline, however was unable to lift the Wild Wings into the playoffs. On March 7, 2015, the Wild Wings opted not to offer Caldwell a new contract, rendering him a free agent.[4]

After joining Norwegian club, Lørenskog IK midway through the 2015–16 season, Caldwell continued his journeyman career in the following summer by signing a one-year deal with Japanese club, Oji Eagles of the Asia League on July 22, 2016.[5]
