Joining the K-Wings as a free-agent on 03/10/10, Askey has patrolled the creases of the top leagues in the world.

A 12-year pro, Askey was drafted by the Anaheim Mighty Ducks during the 8th round (186th overall) of the 1993 National Hockey League Entry Draft. The native of Tonawanda, New York put his pro career on hold to finish his collegiate career at Ohio State University. Askey's NHL aspirations would become reality during the 1997-98 season, when he played in 7 games for the Mighty Ducks.

Nine of Askey's previous 11 pro seasons have been played in either the International Hockey League or the American Hockey League. In the 2000-01 season, as a member of the Rochester Americans, the netminder posted a 2.55 goals against average (GAA) and earned the Harry (HAP) Holmes Memorial Award, given to the AHL goaltender with the lowest GAA.

Askey was a member of 2006-07 Kalamazoo Wings, where the netminder was selected to participate in the 2007 UHL All-Star Classic and helped the K-Wings reached the Colonial Cup Finals. During the 2006-07 season, Askey was a teammate of current K-Wings Ryan Nie, Tyler Willis and head coach Nick Bootland.
