One doesn’t expect many signings after training camp starts, but that’s exactly what happened when Brian Ward signed with the New Jersey Devils AHL affiliate. Ward played for the Binghamton Devils on a loan before, but has spent the past two seasons with the Devils ECHL affiliate the Adirondack Thunder.
Ward led the Thunder last year with 30 goals. The year prior, he also led the team with 27 goals. It’s safe to say he made the best of his situation.
Despite being a goal scorer like he is, it’s taking him a long time to get to this point.
