Playing career
[edit]On March 18, 2008, LoVecchio was signed as a free agent to a two-year entry-level contract by the Boston Bruins after attending the Western Michigan University and was assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins, for the remainder of the 2007–08 AHL season.[1] In the off-season, however, LoVecchio sustained a concussion from skating and was forced to miss the entire 2008–09 season.[2]
On December 9, 2010, he was traded from the Bruins, along with Jordan Knackstedt, to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Sean Zimmerman.[3]
After his second season abroad with Lillehammer IK of the GET-ligaen, LoVecchio opted to change European leagues for the third consecutive year, signing a one-year contract with Hungarian club, Alba Volán Székesfehérvár who compete in the EBEL on June 23, 2014.[4]
LoVecchio returned for one season in the GET-ligaen with Lørenskog IK, before signing, alongside teammate Wacey Rabbit, to a one-year contract with Japanese club, Nippon Paper Cranes of the ALIH on July 28, 2015.[5]
