Manavian played 54 games in the league last season and had 25 points (11 G, 14 A). The management of Fehervar decided to bring the player back after the injury of Bence Szirányi. The Hungarian D-man is expected to miss 5-6 months that is why it was necessary to bring in a new player. ’I decided to come back because I really enjoyed playing in Fehervar’, said Manavian about the comeback. ’The atmosphere and the team is great and the coach trusts me. The fans are outstanding as well, and I am excited to play again in front of them. My goals are for the season to make the playoffs with the team and further improve myself as a player.’ Manavian is expected to play on Friday against Dornbirn.
