Playing career

He attended Princeton University and, besides gaining a degree in sociology,[1] played on their hockey team for four years; during his junior year he was the assistant captain of the team, and in his senior year he was the captain.[2]

The Philadelphia Flyers signed the undrafted Powe as a free agent on April 17, 2008[3] after Powe had played on the Flyers American Hockey League affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms, in 200607 and 200708. Powe made his NHL debut on October 24, 2008 against the New Jersey Devils.[4] After being sent back down to the Phantoms, Powe returned to the Flyers lineup for good in December and played the remainder of the 200809 season with the Flyers.[4] On December 9, 2008, he scored his first career NHL goal against Yann Danis of the New York Islanders.[5] A restricted free agent following the 200910 season, Powe signed a one-year contract on July 22, 2010.[6]

Powe is generally regarded to be a role player and has excellent penalty killing skills. Another of his strengths is his forechecking prowess.

On June 27, 2011, the Flyers traded Powe to the Minnesota Wild for a third round pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.[7] After the trade, on July 5, 2011, Powe signed a contract with the Wild worth $3.2 million over three years.[8]
