Playing career

Register made his professional debut on January 25, 2012, playing defence for the Allen Americans of the Central Hockey League in a 2-0 home game shut-out over the Arizona Sundogs.

On February 22, 2013, the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League (AHL) signed Register to a one-year AHL contract and then loaned him to the Ontario Reign of the ECHL where he skated in 17 regular season games and 10 playoff contests during the 2012–13 season.[1]

On July 3, 2013, the Ontario Reign re-signed Register for the 2013–14 ECHL season.

On June 10, 2014, Register signed a one-year contract with Hungarian club Alba Volán Székesfehérvár, competing in the Austrian Hockey League (EBEL).[2] Prior to the 2014–15 season, Register was released from his contract and returned to North America, in accepting a try-out to the Chicago Wolves AHL training camp. On October 1, 2014, Register agreed to return to the Reign in signing a standard player contract.[3]

In the 2015–16 season, Register initially signed with the Atlanta Gladiators of the ECHL.[4] Appearing in 40 games with the Glads, he contributed with 27 points before he was dealt to reigning Champions, the Allen Americans on March 10, 2016.[5] Register closed out the season among the Americans' top four defenders with 10 points in 13 games. In the post-season, Register featured in every game, helping the Americans defend the Kelly Cup with 8 points in 23 games.

On September 12, 2016, Register continued his ECHL career, agreeing to a one-year deal with his fourth ECHL club, the Colorado Eagles.[6]
