Euro Curve takes a daily look at the latest international hockey headlines.
Kind of a light night for European hockey news.
– Daniel Tolensky has an article on hockeybuzz.com about the possibility of National Hockey League expansion into Europe.
These juicy tidbits are from http://www.spectorshockey.net/ ( Thanks Spector!)
SLAPSHOT.CH: reports Swiss NLA team SC Bern is searching for a replacement for forward Patrik Stefan, who is sidelined with a nagging hip injury and may not play with the team this season. Stefan had told the team he was medically fit after off-season hip surgery.
SLAPSHOT.CH/HOKEJ.CZ: reports Swiss NLA team EV Zug unsuccessfully attempted to sign NHL defenceman Jason York as a replacement for injured Barry Richter as he doesn’t want to move to Europe for such a short period of time.
SLAPSHOT.CH/HOKEJ.CZ: reports Swiss NLA team EHC Basel was unable to meet the financial requirements of NHL defenceman David Tanabe and thus won’t be signing him.
