At 34 years old with 722 NHL games under his belt, Ottawa Senators brought in 13-year veteran forward Mark Parrish(13) to be a leader in the locker room and teach the young guys the ropes of professional hockey.
He just took it up another notch as he’s turned the A on his sweater to a C, as he’s been named Binghamton Senators‘ team captain for the 2011/2012 season. Excellent choice on their part.
9-year veteran center Michael Ryan(14) comes full circle in his career signing a one-year, two-way deal with Buffalo for 2011/2012. He’s expected to play mostly with Rochester in the AHL. He was drafted back in 1999 by Dallas (2nd round, #32 overall) but never signed by them.
He played the first five years of his career with the Sabres (65 games) / Amerks (210 games).
Last season he played a few games for Springfield but mostly with Adirondack Phantoms, where he put up some impressive numbers (52 games played, 25 goals and 16 assists).
