News – Sharks Re-Sign Defenseman Rob Davison – San Jose Sharks:

San Jose Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Wilson announced today that the club has re-signed Group II restricted free agent Rob Davison to a one-year contract. In keeping with club policy, financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Good for the Sharks, good for Davison. he’s a nice, solid depth guy to have around.

In 2004-05, Davison played for Cardiff (Elite Ice Hockey League), becoming the first NHL player to play in the United Kingdom. He recorded two goals, three assists and 114 penalty minutes in 24 games.

By the way, this is incorrect, and the Sharks really should have known the right answer.

Dody Wood, who played for the sharks 93-98 and was in the Sharks system down at Kansas City until 2001 played in the BISL for both Nottingham and the Ayr Scottish Eagles between 2001 and 2003.

Now, Davison may be the first guy to go to the UK leagues and then return to the NHL — but he’s not the first NHLer to play there. And given that it was a Sharks guy who did it, it should have been easy for them to look up (Dan Rusanowsky could have told them, I’m sure. He’s memorized everything… grin)
