Orli Znojmo have signed defenceman Taylor Doherty to a deal until the end of the season. He is the latest addition to the Znojmo squad thinned by long-term injuries. Doherty is no stranger to playing hockey in the Czech Republic. He was part of the Liberec team which went all the way to Czech Extraliga finals last season.

With over 200 cm and 100 kg, his presence is sure to be felt on the ice. "We were looking for someone capable of playing physical hockey, being strong in front of both nets. That´s what Taylor brings us. On the plus side, his past experience with Liberec should make his adaptation faster," says sports manager Miroslav Frycer.

Doherty flies in tomorrow and if all paperwork is completed in time, could be on the ice for Friday´s game against VSV already.
