Playing career

The 6 ft 4in (195 cm) center was drafted by the Sudbury Wolves of the Ontario Hockey League in 1984.

In 63 games with the Wolves in his rookie year he produced 16 goals and 44 points along with a noticeable willingness to play a rough and tumble game, with 106 minutes in penalties.

The Quebec Nordiques selected him in the third round of the 1985 NHL draft, 57th overall. He played parts of three NHL seasons in Quebec before going to the Edmonton Oilers in the 1990–91 campaign.

Middendorf played 13 games in the National Hockey League, collecting 2 goals and 4 assists.
