Jake Bischoff

Jacob Michael Bischoff (born July 25, 1994) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman for the Shanghai Dragons in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). He was drafted by the New York Islanders in the 2012 NHL entry draft.

Early life Bischoff was born on June 25, 1994, in Cambridge, Minnesota, as the oldest child to parents Jackie Tok and Grant Bischoff. His father played ice hockey for the University of Minnesota and was drafted by the Minnesota North Stars after his freshman year. As a result, Bischoff was trained by his father from a young age. He immediately joined the Islanders' AHL affiliate, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers for the remainder of the regular season, posting 3 points in 6 games.

On June 21, 2017, Bischoff was traded by the Islanders, along with Mikhail Grabovski and a pair of draft selections to the Vegas Golden Knights, in exchange for 2017 NHL expansion draft considerations. In joining the Golden Knights in their inaugural season, Bischoff was assigned to AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves for his first full professional season in 2017–18.

On July 16, 2019, as a restricted free agent, Bischoff was signed to a three-year contract extension with the Golden Knights.

After missing the entirety of the 2021–22 season due to a lower body injury, Bischoff opted to remain within the Golden Knights organization, by signing a one-year AHL contract with affiliate, the Henderson Silver Knights, on July 14, 2022. Bischoff was later named captain of the Silver Knights on October 12, 2023, succeeding Brayden Pachal.

Following eight seasons in the Golden Knights' organization, Bischoff went overseas, signing a one-year contract with the Shanghai Dragons of the Kontinental Hockey League on August 15, 2025.
