Hishon was drafted 17th overall by the Colorado Avalanche in 2010, but the early years of his professional career were derailed by a concussion that kept him off the ice for almost two years.
In 13 career NHL games, Hishon recorded a goal and an assist. He appeared in 62 games for the AHL's San Antonio Rampage this past season, scoring 14 goals and adding 29 assists.
