Playing career

Flood was drafted in the sixth round, 188 overall in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens.[1] He played in the ECHL prior to signing a free agent contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets playing for their AHL affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch.[2] On November 26, 2006 Flood was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes organization for defensemen Derrick Walser.[2]

He was not re-signed by Carolina and on July 6, 2009 he signed a one-year, two-way contract with the New York Islanders.[3] Flood spent the majority of the season in the AHL. Following a concussion to Islanders defensemen Dustin Kohn Flood was called up to the NHL, making his debut on March 25, 2010 against the Calgary Flames.[4] Flood played 6 games for the Islanders registering 1 assist and a -4 plus-minus rating.[2] During the 2010 offseason, Flood signed a one-way contract with the Manitoba Moose (farm team of the Vancouver Canucks). On July 3 he signed a contract to play for the Winnipeg Jets. He scored his first NHL goal as a member of the Jets against Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils on November 5, 2011.[5]

On July 22, 2012, it was reported that Flood had signed a contract with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl of the Russian Kontinental Hockey League. Flood was a part of the rebirth of the organization following the tragic plane crash that forced Lokomotiv to cancel its 2011–2012 season.[6] In 52 games with Yaroslavl, Flood was a stay-at-home fixture on the blueline, posting 6 points throughout the 2012–13 season.

On July 10, 2013, Flood returned to North America and signed a one-year two-way contract with the Carolina Hurricanes.[7]

Flood returned to the KHL after a single season within the Hurricanes organization in signing a two-year deal with KHL Medvescak Zagreb on June 11, 2014.[8] After a single season in Croatia, Flood moved to KHL rivals HC Lada Togliatti on a one-year contract on June 19, 2015.[9] In the following 2015–16 season, Flood struggled to find his offensive presence with Togliatti, contributing with 6 points from the blueline in 38 contests.

On June 24, 2016, Flood left the KHL to sign a one-year contract with Austrian club, EC Red Bull Salzburg of the Austrian Hockey League (EBEL).[10]

In the following off-season, Flood returned to North America as a free agent. He accepted an invitation to try out for the 2017–18 season, with the Manitoba Moose of the AHL on September 25, 2017.[11] In joining the affiliate of former club, the Winnipeg Jets, Flood played in a single game with the Moose before he was released from his tryout on October 17, 2017.[12]

After spending his second season in the Finnish Liiga with Ilves in 2018–19, Flood returned to the Austrian EBEL, agreeing to a one-year contract with the Vienna Capitals on June 18, 2019.[13]
