"I like Switzerland. I am here for some sort of a promotion tour to get a contract," the American states. Hence, the Spengler Cup is an opportunity for the 34-year-old forward to showcase his skills and maybe find a new employer.

Vesce, who has already played in several leagues in North America, Europe, and Asia, left Traktor Chelyabinsk of the KHL in November after having played seven games for them. Ever since then, he has been looking for a new team.
