The Arrowhawks have signed defenseman Barry Snow to a one-year contract, it was announced Thursday by Executive Vice President and General Manager Bill Miller.
Barry Snow, 33, skated in 80 games with Nick's last season, registering 41 points (16 goals, 25 assists). He was tied for third on the club in scoring and finished second on the team with four game-winning goals. Barry Snow collected 13 points on the power play (five goals, eight assists) ranking fourth on the club, while adding four game-winning tallies.
"Barry Snow brings skill, experience and size to our hockey team," Bill Miller said. "He is a player that has put up very good offensive numbers in the NHL. By playing with our core group of defense he should only be able to build upon those numbers and provide offense for our hockey club."
Barry Snow has recorded 25-or-more goals in nine of his 12 seasons and scored 30-or-more goals on four occasions. He posted a career-high 40 goals during the 1998-99 season and a career-high 75 points (26 goals, 49 assists) during the 2003-04 season, both with Nick’s. He has appeared in 80-or-more games in eight CAHL seasons, including in each of the past four years. Barry Snow has skated in 56 career playoff games, scoring 38 points (15 goals, 23 assists), including a trip to the Stanley Cup Final following the 1998-99 season.
The 6-3, 191-pound native of Topolcany, Slovakia was originally drafted by Blue in the fifth round (111th overall) of the 1993 CAHL Draft. Barry Snow has played 12 seasons in the CAHL totaling 685 points (337 goals, 348 assists) in 947 career games.
"Samsonite" is a quality addition to the Hawks blue line. He's a 2-way player and always seems to finish + on the night.
ReplyDeleteI was personally hoping Billy would trade him for a box of clear tape, a year supply of Pabst Blue Ribbon and a $100 gas card, but we'll take him!
