David went on to play Division One hockey for Sacred Heart Pioneers for two seasons. Last Season in December he transferred to Western New England College. In 10 games with WNEC he had 1 goal and 5 assists. At the end of the season he signed a pro contract with the MAHL. In four games he had 3 goals and 2 assists for 5 points.
"The Eagles are bringing David Smith to provide leadership," said Keith McAdams, General Manager of Varkaus Eagles. I have known David for a number of years. My teams played against him when he was captain of the Wolves. I am 100% positive David will excel here. He is a tough, two way forward. He is a physical player who can put the puck into the net. The fans in Varkaus will like his toughness and discipline. This was something we lacked last year in the SUOMISARJA promotional series."
