Rissanen signs with Hurricanes
By Nick Patterson, Herald writer
The Everett Silvertips defenseman took the first step in his North American professional career when he signed a three-year entry-level deal with the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes.
The 19-year-old Rissanen was a sixth-round selection by Carolina in the 2009 NHL draft. Days later he was selected by Everett in the first round (17th overall) of the Canadian Hockey League import draft.
Rissanen will join Carolina's American Hockey League affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers, for the remainder of the season.
