The defender later played for other farm teams such as the Philadelphia Phantoms of the AHL, the Michigan K-Wings and the Grand Rapids Griffins International Hockey League , but he never played more than 17 games in a year with the Flyers.

For the 1999/00 season Aris Brimanis moved to the New York Islanders , for which he played 56 games in the second year. In the 2001/02 season , the American played for the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and then moved to the St. Louis Blues . After the defender was mostly used in the AHL at the Worcester IceCats , he decided in the summer of 2005 to move to Europe. Brimanis played for two years with the Kloten Flyers in Switzerland and finally moved to the Hannover Scorpions in the German Ice Hockey League for the 2007/08 season , where he was German champion in the 2009/10 season .
