Playing career

edit

As a youth, Joudrey played in the 1997 and 1998 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with a minor ice hockey team from Bedford, Nova Scotia.[1]

Joudrey twice won the AHL's Calder Cup while playing with the Hershey Bears, an affiliate of the Capitals. For his final season on the Bears, he was named team captain.[2]

On July 1, 2011, the free-agent Joudrey signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets.[3] Upon completion of his contract, Joudrey opted to remain with the Blue Jackets affiliate, the Springfield Falcons, re-signing to a one-year AHL contract on July 23, 2013.[4]

After three seasons primarily with the Falcons, Joudrey signed his first contract abroad, agreeing to a one-year deal with German club, Adler Mannheim of the DEL on June 19, 2014.[5] In the 2014–15 season, Joudrey made a seamless transition to European hockey helping lead the club as an Alternate Captain to capture the DEL Championship with 29 points in 52 games. He was signed to a two-year contract extension on April 29, 2015.[citation needed]

On July 28, 2017, Joudrey announced his retirement from professional hockey and was named President of the Madison Capitols of the United States Hockey League.[6]
