10th year defenseman Cody Lampl(32) switches up teams for the first time in a few years, joining Adler Mannheim for 2018/2019 after three seasons with Fischtown Pinguins.
His first season in Germany was spent in DEL2 before he was upped to DEL, where he bettered his output and tied a career best mark of 30 points set in his last North American season with Toledo Walleye.
The 31-year old, who will turn 32 over the summer seems to have found a nice surrogate home until he decides it’s time to retire from the pro ranks.
Cody Lampl(32) Saint John’s IceCaps
Undrafted 5th year Idaho-born defenseman Cody Lampl(32) pulls a go figure move to begin the 2013/2014 season.
Under contract for another campaign with Toledo Walleye of the ECHL after a successful run, reaching a career high 6 goals and tying his point total of 15, he looked to build on the success and was invited to join St. John’s IceCaps‘ training camp.
One thing leads to another and by early October he finds himself on the an AHL roster.
In 8 games, the 5’11” 183 lbs. blue liner has yet to hit the score sheet with a -2 rating but definitely doesn’t look a bit out of place.
He has 214 ECHL games, first for a pair of seasons with hometown team Idaho Steelheads and then he moved slightly more east for a year with Utah Grizzlies.
To his credit he’s scored 8 goals and 49 assists with a +9 plus/minus.
The 27-year old played four years at Colorado College after three seasons in the USHL en route to turning pro.
However this story ends up it’s already a good one.
