Undrafted 4th year right wing Max Novak(16) heads off to Sweden’s tier 2 Allsvenskan signing for 2018/2019 with Tingsryds AIF.
He was signed early in free agency to Toronto Marlies after 2 years playing for Albany Devils but skated only one AHL game in 2017/2018, otherwise was reassigned to affiliate Orlando Solar Bears.
It was his first run in the lower league and through 66 ECHL games scoring 21 goals and a team high 36 asssists for 57 points.
The 5’11” 185 lbs. forward came from a successful college hockey program at Union College, where he was part of the 2014 NCAA Championship and helped grabbed back-to-back 2012 & 2013 ECAC titles.
At 27-years old he should be able to find some great success in his new league overseas and may even climb up to the SHL.
