He is currently under contract to the Vancouver Canucks organization of the National Hockey League (National Hockey League). Following his 2010-2011 standout season playing Division I hockey with the Princeton Tigers, Fedun was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Edmonton Oilers. Fedun impressed the Oilers at the 2011 Young Stars Tournament in Penticton, British Columbia, and continued to impress throughout the Oilers" pre-season games, remaining on the roster after other young high performers, such as Tyler Pitlick and Curtis Hamilton, have been sent to the Oilers" AHL farm team, the Oklahoma City Barons.
Prior to the 2011-2012 season, when the Oilers" roster sat at 32 players, with 9 more needing to be cut before the team"s final roster was made, Fedun was tripped by the Minnesota Wild"s forward, Eric Nystrom, and fractured his femur during a preseason game while attempting to retrieve the puck and force an icing.
Fedun suffered a complex fracture to his right femur and missed the entire 2011-2012 season after a rod was put in his legal This was the second time the National Hockey League"s icing policy led to a fractured femur in the post-lockout era, with the previous injury occurring to former Wild defenseman Kurtis Foster in 2007.
The icing rule was changed for the 2013-2014 season to reduce the risk for potentially damaging collisions. Fedun scored his first National Hockey League goal on November 5, 2013 against Jacob Markstrom of the Florida Panthers.
With the Oilers not tendering Fedun a qualifying offer, he was released to free agency and on July 1, 2014, signed a one-year contract with the San Jose Sharks.
On July 1, 2015, Fedun returned to Western Canada, signing a one-year, two-way contract as a free agent with the Vancouver Canucks.
