Playing career

Kudla was born and raised in Guelph, Ontario, where he played for the Guelph Hurricanes in the GOJHL from the 2012–13 season through to the 2014–15 season. In 2016, he was drafted 158th overall by the Arizona Coyotes in the National Hockey League, but never played in the league. During the 2017–18 season, he played for the University of Guelph ice hockey team.

After his season with the University of Guelph, he moved to Europe to play for HC Nové Zámky in the Slovak Extraliga. From here, during the 2019–20 season, he was drafted to HC Frýdek-Místek in the Czech Chance Liga, then subsequently to HC Litvínov in the Czech Extraliga, where he played 62 games across two seasons. In 2021, he returned to the Slovak Extraliga to play for HK Dukla Trenčín.

In the 2022–23 season, Kudla returned to North America to play for the Idaho Steelheads in the ECHL. Alongside Matthew Register, Kudla led the Steelheads blueline in scoring, placing top in the ECHL, by posting 50 points through just 58 regular season games. He also made 4 appearances in loans to the American Hockey League with the Colorado Eagles and Tucson Roadrunners.

On September 8, 2023, Kudla agreed to continue his tenure with the Steelheads, re-signing for the 2023–24 season.
