profile from 2003

Drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 9th round (234rd overall) in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft

Standing 6ft 2ins and weighing in around 195lbs, Eric Lind will be a presence on the Phoenix blueline that opposing forwards will have to try and navigate around. An Economics graduate of the University of New Hampshire, the 25-year old from Norwalk in Connecticut has played the past three seasons in the East Coast Hockey League with the Mississippi Sea Wolves and Greenville Grrrowl.

Brebant commented on his latest signing, “Eric has ideal size for a defenceman, he’s a right-handed shot and our research has turned up nothing but good things about him. He’s a smart player who knows when to jump up on the play, is a very good skater and is a leader on the team. He’s been an alternate captain in Greenville and references we’ve taken have all said he’s a great guy in the locker room. I like to research a players character and in Eric, I believe we will get that in abundance.”
