9th year pro goalie Joel Martin(49) has bounced around many different North American leagues and teams in his career but for the first time he’s looking elsewhere, overseas to continue.

For the 2011/2012 season he signed with Herlev Hornets of AL-Bank Ligaen (Danish Pro Hockey League).

Last season, the 28-year old netminder appeared in a career high AHL games (18 with Bridgeport Sound Tigers).

He also played in 29 games with Odessa Jackalopes of the Central Hockey League and was called-up as an emergency back-up for one game with New York Islanders.

Goaltender Daren Machesney(1) is another player this season that finds his playing career coming full circle.

He rejoins the Washington Capitals system (drafted in the 5th round, #143 overall in 2005). His 1st three pro seasons were spent in net with Hershey Bears. He has yet to play an NHL game but was recalled to play back-up a few times.

Last season he played games for 5 different teams in the AHL and ECHL (Reading, Elmira, Victoria, Worcester, and 1 game for Springfield).

David LeNeveu(31) Oklahoma City Barons / Springfield Falcons

Posted in AHL, ECHL, NHL | Leave a comment

Hard to believe that goaltender David LeNeveu(31) will be entering his 9th pro season after being drafted in 2002 by the Phoenix Coyotes in the 2nd round (#46 overall).

For 2011/2012, he has signed an AHL contract to join Oklahoma City Barons, where he’ll compete for the top spot in net.

The head scratcher is that he’s only ever had one really decent year in between the pipes since his college hockey days, when he was impressive enough to leave school early and turn pro. Maybe in hindsight that wasn’t such a good decision.

Cedrick Desjardins(30) Colorado Avalanche / Norfolk Admirals

Posted in AHL, ECHL, NHL | Leave a comment

Cedrick Desjardins(30) was left out of Tampa Bay‘s plans for the future after one year with the organization.

He had a great season with Norfolk Admirals in the AHL and won both his starts with the Lightning.

Colorado signed him for 2011/2012 and he’ll challenge for the starting job or could give Lake Erie a nice boost in net.

He won the ECHL Kelly Cup with Cincinnati Cyclones in 2008.
