In the following season Berry went in addition to the NHL in the AHL for the Portland Pirates , the Capitals farm team. This season, the American played his last appearances in the highest North American professional league. and then played in the AHL for the Utah Grizzlies , San Antonio Rampage and Milwaukee Admirals , before signing a contract with the New York Islanders in 2006 .
