EHC Kloten has signed Canadian forward Jayce Hawryluk until the end of the season. The 29-year-old moves from the Slovakian team Nove Zamky to the Zurich lowlanders.
Hawryluk played three seasons in the NHL. Kloten's team manager Ricardo Schödler describes the Canadian as an "extremely dangerous, versatile forward who stands out with a great skill set".
According to EHC Kloten, Hawryluk's signing is not related to the recent events surrounding top scorer Miro Aaltonen, whose contract was terminated due to a doping offense. The contract with Hawryluk had already been signed beforehand.
