Career

After playing five full seasons in the Western Hockey League and part of a sixth, Severson joined the Central Hockey League's Oklahoma City Blazers during the 1998–99 season. He spent the 1999–2000 season in the East Coast Hockey League and part of the 2000–01 season in the United Hockey League before joining the American Hockey League.

In 2008, Severson was offered a job as an assistant coach of the Spokane Chiefs, a major junior team in the Western Hockey League, but instead joined Steaua București Hockey, a Romanian Hockey League team, becoming the first Canadian and the first former NHL player to play in Romania. Midway through the season, Severson was named assistant coach of the team, and then head coach.^[1] He was a coach/player for Steaua București Hockey of the Romanian Hockey League and Liga MOL in Romania ^[1] and signed with the Mississippi RiverKings on 18 August 2009 as a player-coach.
