14-year super-tough veteran defenseman Tim Conboy(4) played only 7 DEL games with 4th year club Dusseldorfer EG and has decided at the end of the season to call it a day on a great pro career.
He has spent the last 6 years in the top German league.
With, 59 NHL (16 fighting majors), 465 AHL games and 8 big league contracts to his credit, he definitely has done pretty well for himself.
At almost 36-years old and amassing close to 150 penalty minutes in each of the last couple seasons, there’s little doubt it’s time for him to take on a new adventure.
Tim Conboy(38) Binghamton Senators
It took 139 games for Binghamton Senators‘ defenseman Tim Conboy(38) to put the puck in the net but he finally got the monkey off his back the night after Christmas with one, his first since 2009 when he was playing with Albany River Rats.
He was in Carolina Hurricanes‘ prospect system for four seasons and played 59 NHL games with them (0 goals, 6 assists).
From there he signed to one-year, two-way deals, last season with Buffalo Sabres and this year with Ottawa Senators, which has him assigned to their AHL affiliate.
Originally a San Jose Sharks‘ 7th round pick in the 2002 draft (#217 overall), he’s a fairly big guy at 6’2″ 210 lbs. but more importantly he’s the type of player that gets under other guy’s skin and causes penalties to happen. He also spends a good amount of time in the box.
Last season in 70 games he had 233 pims.
