Parise to the EC Red Bull Salzburg


Former Fighting Sioux goalie Jordan Parise is taking his show over seas this winter to play for the EC Red Bull Salzburg. Goon's World would like to wish him good luck and will be following his season closely. Good thing this site also has English because my Deutsch is a little rusty. Also if you look at the roster of the team you will see that they had a couple of former ex-NHLers on their team last season. Josh Green who played on the Red Bulls just recently signed a contract to play for the Anaheim Ducks this season, so it is possible to move from the Austrian Hockey League to the NHL even though a few nay says have said it isn't possible. The Salzburg Red Bulls are also coached by former North Stars coach Pierre Page`


Red Bulls sign new goalie
EC Red Bull Salzburg has announced the signing of Jordan Parise. The 25-year-old goaltender from Faribault, Minnesota (USA), has dual US/Canadian nationality and will play in goal for the Red Bulls this season. Besides his Canadian father Jean-Paul Parise, who enjoyed several seasons in the NHL playing for, among others, the Minnesota North Stars and New York Islanders, his brother Zach Parise is also an NHL player, having spent the last three seasons with the New Jersey Devils.

Pierre Pagé is convinced that Jordan will be an important member of the Red Bulls' squad: "He has an impressive college and professional career to show for himself and after two successful years in the American Hockey League (AHL) he intends to use our programme as a springboard to a place in the NHL next year."

Jordan Parise will join the team in time for training at the beginning of August

  2. Heck if you can make the money why not do it. Living in Europe rocks as well.
