Springfield, MA - The Springfield Falcons announced today that they have signed veteran Brad Bombardir to a professional tryout agreement. The 6'1", 205-pound defenseman out of Powell River, British Columbia last played in the AHL in 1998 as a member of the Albany River Rats. Bombardir, 33, has spent the past seven seasons in the NHL, playing for the New Jersey Devils, the Minnesota Wild and the Nashville Predators.
