NEW JERSEY – Nearly a decade after hearing his name called at the NHL Entry Draft, Bud Holloway is about to see his dream come true.
To say George “Bud” Holloway has played the long game in his career would be an understatement. Since being nabbed in the third round, 86th overall, by the Los Angeles Kings in 2006, the Wapella, SK native has played 509 professional hockey games in the regular season and 84 more in the playoffs. He split his first three seasons in the pro ranks between the ECHL and AHL before spending the next four years in Europe, first in Sweden and then most recently with Bern of the Swiss National League A in 2014-15.
