He spent four years playing college ice hockey at Lake Superior State University between 1990 and 1994, earning All-NCAA Second Team honors along with NCAA's Championship All-Tournament Team and All-CCHA Second Team distinction his senior year. He also served as the Lakers' team captain in his final year at LSSU.[2]
Beddoes was signed as a free agent by the Boston Bruins in 1994 and spent the 1994-95 season with the team's AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins. He played sixty career NHL games between 1995 and 1997, scoring two goals and eight assists for ten points.[3]

After spending the 1997-98 season with the Detroit Vipers of the International Hockey League (65 games: 22 goals, 24 assists), Beddoes signed with the Berlin Capitals of the German elite league Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) in 1998. He made 52 appearances for the Capitals in the 1998-99 DEL season, tallying 17 goals, while assisting on 26 more.[4]

In 2002, Beddoes had to put an end to his playing career due to shoulder issues.
Coaching career
[edit]After his retirement in 2002, he began a coaching career in Germany. He served one year as assistant coach of DEL's Iserlohn Roosters (2005–06),[5] followed by a two-year stint in the same position at fellow DEL side Kölner Haie.
