The Krefeld penguins have garretted Noonan, the first import agency in the defensive department.
The 27-year-old defender was drafted by the Nashville Predators in the fourth round of the NHL Entry Draft in 2011, but initially opted out of professional careers and spent the full four years at Boston University from 2011 to 2014 where he served in the NCAA Played 144 games, scored 30 goals and 51 assists. "For my family and myself, academic as well as academic education was important. In addition, we were convinced that I would still get the chance for the NHL afterwards. The NCAA is an excellent league in which I have been able to develop, especially in the athletic and tactical fields, "Garrett Noonan explains why he decided to go to college and not signed the professional contract after the second year.
As expected, the interest of the Nashville Predators was still given two years later. Between 2014 and 2016, the defender was deployed in the training teams of the Predators. For the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) he played 57 games with 4 goals and 6 assists as well as a value of +5 in the +/- statistic. For the Cincinnati Cyclones (ECHL) 78 games with 10 goals and 43 assists as well as a value of +5. "I had two good years in Milwaukee and Cincinnati but did not get a chance to play in Nashville. At that time, I already thought about going to Europe. I had the first talks with Matthias Roos at the end of November 2016, but we did not get together at the time. That's why I'm all the more looking forward to Krefeld and the DEL, "continued Noonan.
After the 184cm and 93 kg heavy left shooter started the season 2017/18 still in the AHL in Hartford, he decided in December 2017 to continue his career in Europe. For Medvescak Zagreb in the EBEL, the American completed 30 games in which he scored 6 goals and 14 assists. There are also 6 games in the playoffs with a goal and three assists. "Garrett was one of our favorite players for the new season. Rarely have we received so much positive feedback about a player. His future coach also confirmed this. First Garrett had to get used to the larger ice surface and the way of playing in Europe. In the last ten games of the main round and in the playoffs, he has played outstanding in Zagreb and show his real performance potential. He is runners good, tactically disciplined and strong in defensive behavior. In addition, he has the right qualities on the offensive and is inferior - just as valuable as in overpower situations, "said the words of Matthias Roos, sports director and CEO of the penguins on the newcomer.
