Omaha, NE - The Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights announced today that they have signed defenseman Tim Hambly to a one-year American Hockey League contract. As per club policy, terms and conditions of the deal were not disclosed.
"Tim made great strides during his first professional season," said Doug Soetaert, Ak-Sar-Ben Knights' president and assistant general manager of the Calgary Flames. "He made a smooth transition to the American Hockey League and became a valuable member of our defensive corps. We're looking forward to his continued development next season."
