Rob Hisey(26) Liwest Black Wings Linz / Bridgeport Sound Tigers

Posted in AHL, NHL | Leave a comment

7th year, undrafted center Rob Hisey(26) has played most of his career in Europe until the last couple of seasons when he returned to North America and skated with Tulsa Oilers of the Central Hockey League and Springfield Falcons in ’09/’10 and last year he was the 2nd leading scorer on Bridgeport Sound Tigers.

Well, time’s up again for pro hockey here, as he’s signed with Liwest Black Wings Linz of Austria’s Erst Bank Eishockey Liga (Austrian Hockey League with sponsorship).

The league is already almost finished with their preseason and the regular season starts the second week of September.

Last season undrafted goaltender Nathan Lawson(52) appeared in his first NHL games (he played 10 with the Islanders, posting a 1-4 record) but was left without a contract at the end of the year.

He signed a one-year, two-way deal with Montreal Canadiens for 2011/2012, where he will probably be assigned to their AHL affiliate Hamilton Bulldogs and split time with former Colorado 2008 draft pick (2nd round #61 overall) prospect Peter Delmas. He was never signed by the Avalanche.

Lawson could see some more net time in the NHL due to injuries in Montreal‘s crease but it’s kind of doubtful.
