Richmond, VA – The Richmond RiverDogs of the United Hockey League have signed LW David Hymovitz to a contract for the 2004/05 season. Hymovitz spent the past seven seasons playing in the AHL or IHL.

The Massachusetts native broke into pro hockey by scoring 39 goals for the ECHL's Columbus Chill in 1996/97. He moved on to the IHL and scored 46 goals with Indianapolis in 1998/99.
