7th year left wing Garrett Roe(11) switches lands for his two seasons, leaving two strong campaigns with Linkoping HC of the SHL for EV Zug of the NLA.
It will be the fourth country since heading overseas in 2013/2014 that have included EBEL and a career best run with EHC Munchen, where he was a point-per-game player connecting for 13 goals and 38 assists in 51 DEL games.
The former deep draft pick has put up 40+ points four times and eclipsed 20+ assists on 5 different occasions, including his rookie season for Adirondack Phantoms.
He proved he was able to connect big through 4 years at St. Cloud State University, as he was credited for 178 points (65-113) in 156 NCAA games and had similiar results in his final pair of runs with Indiana Ice of the USHL.
The small 29-year old seems to have a lot left in the tank and is having plenty of fun.
He just needs one championship to complete the story.
Garrett Roe(13) Adirondack Phantoms
2nd year left wing Garrett Roe(13) re-signed an AHL contract to skate with Adirondack Phantoms for 2012/2013. As a rookie he was fifth on the team in overall scoring with 8 goals and 32 assists in 70 games. He also ranked second in helpers.
Originally a Los Angeles Kings‘ 7th round pick in the 2008 draft (#183 overall), he never signed with them, although participated in a few of their development camps.
He’s not overly blessed with size standing only 5’9″ 180 lbs, but obviously has a knack for controlling the puck and dishing it to teammates that can put it in the back of the net.
He should get another look from the parent Philadelphia Flyers at their upcoming training camp and who knows the 24-year old may just impress enough to score himself a two-way contract.
