Undrafted third year center Stephan Vigier(28) has decided to take his game overseas, signing a one year deal with Lillehammer of GET-ligaen for 2016/2017.
The small and feisty 5’9″ 167 lbs. forward put up career high numbers last season with South Carolina Stingrays scoring 24 goals and 26 assists for 50 points in 68 ECHL games with a +11 rating, then added another 6 goals and 5 assists in 19 postseason contests.
This was his second visit with the team he joined after 4 successful years at Northern Michigan University, where he was named assistant captain as a junior and senior.
In 8 games to finish off the 2013/2014 season he notched his first 5 pro goals and an assist.
As a rookie he would sign his first deal with Cincinnati Cyclones and come out of the game decently potting 14 goals and 14 assists, while also getting a pair of helpers on his first and only loan up to affiliate San Antonio Rampage for 6 AHL games.
To start his sophomore season he signed with Toledo Walleye but that only lasted 2 games before heading back to the Stingrays.
The 26-year old should do very well in Norway.
