"We got in touch with Aaron through my contacts at London Knights and Toronto university. He is a good skater, can play in more positions and most importantly, he gets into traffic in front of the net. We expect him to be a points producer on our team," says head coach and sports manager Miroslav Frycer.

At the same time, two young Czech guys have completed their try-outs with the team. While Vojtech Krejcirik leaves the club, 21-year old Michal Gago stays on the team and will continue to fight for spot on this year´s EBEL roster.
