Wild ink D Hill despite drug suspension

July 6, 2007

New York Islanders' Sean Hill (6), tries to seal off Buffalo Sabres' Chris Drury during the first period in NHL hockey action in Uniondale, N.Y. in this Jan. 27, 2007 file photo. Hill, the first NHL player suspended for violating the league's drug policy, signed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Wild on Friday. The 37-year-old defenseman received a 20-game suspension and will miss the first 19 games of the upcoming season

Just when Sean Hill thought a steroid scandal might mark the end of his NHL career, the Minnesota Wild called to tell him to come on home. “For the Wild to come out and tell me they wanted me, I can’t tell you the feelings I had,” Hill said in a telephone interview Friday, hours after finalizing a one-year deal with the Wild worth $475,000.
