The Fife Flyers Ice Hockey Club are delighted to announce the signing of former NHL forward David Booth.

With 535 NHL games to his name, David arrives in The Kingdom with a wealth of experience.

A 2nd round draft pick for the Florida Panthers, David also iced for the Vancouver Canucks, Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings across 10 seasons registering a total of 237 points (124 goals + 113 assists) in the world’s top league.

A seasoned professional, David has also iced in the AHL, spent three seasons in the KHL, three seasons in Norway’s top flight and a campaign in Germany’s DEL2.

Most recently, David spent some time in the Hungarian top tier and International Central European Hockey League (ICEHL) with Ferencvárosi TC registering 17 points (10 goals + 7 assists) in nine games before heading down under to the Australian Ice Hockey League.

Icing with the Melbourne Ice, David lit up the league registering 69 points (36 goals + 33 assists) in 16 games helping his team to the AIHL premiership and championship double lifting the H Newman Reid Trophy and Goodall Cup.

Head Coach Jamie Russell commented: “We are excited to add David’s experience to our depleted roster. He will be a big part of the solution to turning things around in Fife.”

On securing the signature of David, Flyers President and GM Max Birbraer added: “We are happy to get David’s deal over the line. What seemed like a crazy idea not long ago has now become reality.

“Arguably, one of the biggest pedigree player to join the club, David’s resume speaks for itself self but what impressed us the most is that he is regarded as an extreme professional who takes pride in his on and off the ice performance and all-in attitude.

“We cannot wait for David to join our line up as soon as possible.”

David will wear #40 this season in the Kingdom.
