Westgarth Inks Deal with Islanders
The Islanders agreed to terms former Princeton defenseman Brett
Westgarth on a one-year, two-way contract, the team announced
Thursday.
Westgarth played the last three seasons in the AHL. Last year, the
6’2, 215 pound defenseman played for the Worcester Sharks,
AHL affiliate of the San Jose Sharks, scoring nine points (2 goals
and 7 assists) while totaling 137 penalty minutes. Westgarth, a
native of Amhertsburg, ON, is a Princeton University graduate who
skated for the Tigers from 2002-2007 where he compiled four goals
and 20 assists for 24 points.
