Looking for a Fresh Start

A new update reveals that Quinton Howden has parted ways with Vasterviks IK, a team from Sweden's Allsvenskan.



Howden was unhappy with the team's plans for him and chose the easy way out.

Howden's Career

Howden was drafted in the first round of the 2010 draft.

For the first six years of his career, he fought for a spot with the Panthers. During his best season, he scored 11 points in 58 games.

After a year in Winnipeg playing mostly in the AHL, he decided to head to Europe.

Over the last five years, he has played in six different countries and will now look to join a new team to pursue his hockey career.
