Strudwick began the 2006–07 season with HC Lugano in Switzerland before signing a contract on March 19, 2007, with the Rangers.

[3] On November 21, 2011, Strudwick signed with the Swedish club Södertälje SK of the Swedish Allsvenskan. [6] On May 24, 2012, he announced his retirement from professional hockey. [7]
