Undrafted 8th year center Jarrett Burton(36) will try his stick far away from Echo Bay, ON signing a one-year deal for 2021/2022 with Stavenger Oilers of Fjordkraftligaen.
The 6′ 185 lbs. forward last skated for Iowa Wild in 2020/2021, scoring 4 goals and 5 assists in 34 AHL games, taking his total up to 253 through 6 years in the league.
His scoring was elevated in the league of his first contract, the ECHL, with his only club Wheeling Nailers, where he was good for 33 goals and 47 assists in 118 games.
The former Clarkson University Golden Knights‘ assistant captain as a senior twice scored 20 points in Atlantic Hockey play.
Already 30-years old, he may just want to go experience other worlds of the sport before heading off the ice.
After putting up a career best 22 goals and 28 assists in 44 games, then hitting for another 12 points in 15 playoff games en route to the 2022 Norwegian Championship, he has decided that is enough pro hockey for him and retires from the game at a nice peak.
