cHp wants to wish one-time Boston Bruins‘ 7th round draft pick in the 2012 draft (#205 overall) left wing Colton Hargrove(7) a happy retirement in what’s easily too early of an exit, forced upon him by recurring back injuries.
The former Western Michigan University Broncos standout leaves hockey with a career high 14 goals and 22 assists for 38 points in 45 IceHL games for Ferhervar AV19.
He was basically good for 15 goals and 15 assists for any team he skated for.
The 6’1″ 215 lbs. power forward was always a pleasure to watch play for Providence Bruins in his first three pro years.
We wish the 28-year old Dallas, TX native, who did get to skate fairly close to home in Cedar Park one season for Texas Stars all the best whatever life holds for him moving forward with what’s next.
Well, he did sit out 2021/2022, after what maybe was a bit of a difficult 2nd run in Austria’s top hockey.
For last season though, when the air had completely cleared, he decided to lace them back up for the close to home Allen Americans.
He became the team’s captain and went onto as they said it an MVP frame, scoring a career best by a mile 39 goals and 46 assists.
That’s basically enough for the now 31-year old to want to return to play some more hockey.
Limited to just 12 games last season, because of a knee injury, he actually become a licensed real estate agent, but for 2024/2025 will continue to play hockey, but is moving away from home for his 9th season to join 2-time champs, Florida Everblades.
