Kim Hirschovits
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kim Hirschovits (born May 9, 1982 in Helsinki, Finland) is a professional ice hockey forward. He was drafted by the New York Rangers as their sixth-round pick, #194 overall, in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. He is 6'1" tall and weighs 183 lbs.
Hirschovits started his playing career with HIFK in the 2000-01 season, but his career took off in the 2005-06 season when he scored 40 points. Hirschovits then created controversy by signing with HIFK's local rival Jokerit following in the footsteps of coach Doug Shedden. Hirschovits's career includes a brief visit to North America in 2002, when he played six games with the Chicago Steel of the USHL.
