James Sheppard returns to the EHC Kloten for current season

As EHC Kloten announces, they have signed James Sheppard for the rest of the season. The Canadian will arrive in Kloten in the upcoming days. When he will be able to play depends on how fast the paperwork will be processed.

Sheppard had signed a professional tryout contract with the Vancouver Canucks in mid-September, but has been released from the agreement by the organisation a week ago.

As the team states in their press release, they wanted to make sure to have a reinforcement, especially given their injury situation. Thus, they decided to sign a fourth import player after all. Sheppard played 41 games for Kloten last season, scoring twelve goals and 14 assists.
