Noonan arrives in defense, Privitera goes to Zagreb's Bear Breed Change in Blessing Positions:
American Garrett Noonan arrives, Alexx Privitera leaves ...
Garrett Noonan (26) will strengthen Medvescak's defense. It is a player coming from a hockey family, given that his two older brothers, Coleman and Pat, also worked professionally with hockey.
Noonan was born in 1991 in Norfolk, Massachusetts, and made the first serious hockey steps for the Catholic Memorial School (USHS League) and Vernon Viperse (BCHL) with whom he won the championship title this season. In 2010 he enrolled at Boston University where he spent four seasons in which he became the captain of the team with a total of 144 games (81 points).
In 2011 NHL draft was chosen by Nashville Predators, but he decided to stay at the university so neither he ever played at NHL. By leaving the university he played at AHL (89 matches and 15 points for the Milwaukee Admiral and Hartford Wolf Pack) and ECHL (102 games and 63 points for Cincinnati Cyclonese and Greenville Swamp Rabbits). Medvescak is the youngest European club after he has decided to leave North America. This season has started in Hartford and I say 'Wishing for Success and Evidence in the New Environment'.
Noonan will join the Medvescak team today and should play for the Zagreb team against Vienna's first-ever Vienna caps on Friday. With Noonan coming from the club, Alexx Privitera leaves.
'The club and Privitera jointly agreed to terminate the contract and terminate the co-operation. In his place we immediately bring Garrett Noonan, whom we believe will quickly adapt to the game and fit into the team. Alexxu Attaché is grateful for his cooperation and we want him the best in the season and his career, 'said Sports Director Aaron Fox briefly.
Alexx Privitera played for Medveščak this season for 23 games, achieving 1 goal and 4 assists. Medveščak joined Privitera at the beginning of the season's preparation. Before Medveščak he played at ECHL, more accurately for Manchester Monarchs, and had 19 games on loan at AHL's Ontario Reign.
