HC Bozen has pulled off a coup in the goaltender position.

Louis Domingue will guard the goal for the "Foxes" next season in the win2day ICE Hockey League.

The 34-year-old Canadian brings 14 years of professional experience, having played 151 NHL games and made 246 appearances in the American Hockey League.

Seven NHL Teams

The 1.91-meter tall netminder was drafted by the Phoenix Coyotes in the 5th round of the 2010 NHL Draft, eventually making his first NHL appearances in the 2014/15 season.

Throughout his career, Domingue also played goal for the Tampa Bay Lightning, New Jersey Devils, Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Pittsburgh Penguins, and New York Rangers.

At the start of the past season, the Canadian made his European debut, playing eleven times for Sibir Novosibirsk in the KHL. The goalie finished the season with the Charlotte Checkers, the farm team of NHL champions Carolina Hurricanes.

Easy Decision

"From the first moment, I felt that this club is built on passion, tradition, and the will to win. That's why the decision was easy for me," says Domingue.

"After speaking with the management and getting to know the club's culture better, my family and I knew that Bozen is where we want to be."

"Moving to Italy is much more than just the next step in my ice hockey career for me: it offers my family the opportunity to become part of an exceptional community and to share a new experience together. We couldn't be happier to soon call Bozen our home," concludes the new HC Bozen netminder.
