Calgary Flames Acquire Keith Seabrook
Defenceman Keith Seabrook was traded to the Calgary Flames from the Washington Capitals in exchange for future considerations on July 17th. Seabrook has spent the last two seasons with the WHL’s Calgary Hitmen.
“I’m really happy about this,” Seabrook stated. “I don’t think it could have worked out any better. There are a lot of familiar faces I know here, like Dave Lowry. Now that Dave Lowry’s an assistant coach, it’s a plus in my corner, I think.”
Seabrook was drafted in the second round, 52nd overall, in 2006. However he hasn’t signed a professional contract yet. When he does, he will probably be assigned to the AHL’s Abbotsford Heat.
Seabrook played one season at the University of Denver before leaving to play with the Hitmen. In two seasons with the club, Seabrook scored 72 points in 123 regular season games and added 20 more points in 32 playoff games.
Seabrook is one of 27 prospects expected to attend the Flames’ summer camp. He joins a team with a long list of young defenceman who are either in their first pro season or have limited professional experience.
