Archived: Exclusive: Former Husky Garrett Roe Signs With Philadelphia Flyers Organization

Garrett Roe is headed to "The City of Brotherly Love." The former St. Cloud State star forward confirmed to KVSC’s Zack Fisch today via his Twitter page that he has signed with the Philadelphia Flyers organization.

Roe, who just completed his senior year, notched 65 goals and 113 assists in his four seasons with the Huskies. He sits third all-time in career points at SCSU with 178. The Vienna, Virginia native helped lead the Huskies to their first ever NCAA Tournament win on March 26, 2010 when he scored a goal and setup two more, including the game winner, in SCSU’s 4-3 2OT win over Northern Michigan.

Roe said he will participate in the Flyers main NHL camp which starts on September 16. He will be among familiar faces including former SCSU linemate Andreas Nodl, and teammate last year, Oliver Lauridsen, who left SCSU to sign with the Flyers. After that, Roe will head camp with the Adirondack Phantoms, the Flyers’ AHL affiliate.

Roe was originally drafted in the 7th Round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft by the Los Angeles Kings. However, the Kings opted not to sign Roe by the August 15, 2011 deadline, making him a free agent.
