Undrafted Latvian forward Ronalds Kenins has been skating with the Vancouver Canucks for the last two seasons, playing split between the NHL and AHL levels.

Now, though, he’s headed back overseas.

It was confirmed earlier this week that Kenins, who finished his 2015-16 season with no points through just eight regular season NHL games for the Canucks and 23 points in 41 regular season AHL games for the Utica Comets, has inked a two year deal to return to Switzerland to play for the upcoming season.

He’ll play for the ZSC Lions once again, the club he played for at the pro level prior to making his foray into North American hockey.

A native of Riga, Latvia, the 25-year-old Kenins had a fairly impressive rookie season in North America during his 2014-15 campaign. He put up four goals, matching a 12-point production in 36 AHL games with 12 points in 30 NHL games – which earned him an extension in the summer of 2015.

He struggled to find room in the NHL lineup last year, though, which likely explains why he’s gone back to the Swiss-A league for now.

There’s always a chance that the left winger will try to return to North America again in the future, of course. As mentioned above, he was able to put up 12 points in just 30 regular season NHL games in his first year, so as a supplementary winger someone may want to sign him again down the road. For now, though, it’s a safe bet to assume that Switzerland is his best fit – and with history on the Lions, he’ll likely be happy there for the coming years.
