With the signing of Francis Bouillon, there was no need for HC Ambrì-Piotta to keep Geoff Kinrade on their roster. However, the 29-year-old also won't return to SC Bern, but move on to the KHL, where he joins Medvescak Zagreb. Only yesterday, rumors spread that SCB's defenseman Marc-André Gragnani is on the move to Zagreb - close, but not close enough.
Geoff Kinrade joined SC Bern in 2012. Since then, the Canadian defenseman played 147 games for the Bears and scored a total of 60 points (17 goals and 43 assists). Most recently he played on loan for HC Ambrì-Piotta.
