Prospects from across the NHL are taking their talents to Europe to prepare for their next seasons and Arizona Coyotes’ Liam Kirk is doing the same.
Kirk, the Coyotes’ seventh-round (189th overall) selection in the 2018 Draft, has joined Hanhals IF on loan until eventually opens.
Playing in the HockeyEttan, the third tier of Swedish hockey, Kirk will be competing for ice time and will look to keep himself fit and ready for when competitive hockey returns in North America once again.
The Maltby, Yorkshire native joins a Hanhals team that has made a positive start to their season, with a 3-1-1 record in the South region of the league, and will look to continue his impressive showing from the past two seasons with the Peterborough Petes.
