The story of Curry

Alaska's ghost towns are the most extreme on the continent — total commitment, total abandonment, everything preserved by the cold.

Sean Curry (born April 29, 1982) is an American former professional ice hockey defenseman. He has previously played in Europe for the Hamburg Freezers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga during the 2010–11 season. The following season he moved to Sweden to play with Rögle BK in the HockeyAllsvenskan (2nd division). Following his stint in Europe, Curry returned to the United States and spent two seasons playing for the Alaska Aces in the ECHL. On September 25, 2014, Curry announced that he had retired from playing professionally.
