Playing career

[edit]

Harrold was raised in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, where he attended Hawken School. After graduating, he continued his education and hockey career at Boston College, a prestigious NCAA Division I program. While at Boston College, Harrold emerged as a standout defenseman and was eventually named team captain. During his senior season, he played a pivotal role in leading the Eagles to the 2006 Frozen Four, where they competed against the Wisconsin Badgers in the national semifinals.[1] After making the jump to professional hockey, Harrold scored his first NHL goal on February 23, 2008, at Staples Center, beating Chicago Blackhawks goalie Patrick Lalime.[2] His skills and experience also earned him a spot on the U.S. national team, and in 2009, he represented the United States at the IIHF World Championship.[1]

On August 12, 2011, Harrold signed a one-year, two-way contract with the New Jersey Devils.[3]

Following four seasons with the Devils' organization, Harrold became a free agent and signed a one-year, two-way contract with the St. Louis Blues on July 2, 2015.[4] After participating in the Blues' 2015 training camp, he was assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves, where he spent the entire 2015–16 season. Serving as a veteran presence on the blue line, Harrold recorded 1 goal and 23 assists for a total of 24 points over 70 games, marking the conclusion of his 10-year professional hockey career.
