Evgenï Chiriaev and EHC Visp part ways

Evgenï Chiriaev requested to be released from his current contract due to personal reasons. EHC Visp granted his request. "I would like to inform you that I will be leaving EHC Visp. This decision is based on an urgent need to move closer to our families and is therefore purely private," Chiriaev said in a statement released by the club.

It is not yet clear whether the forward will continue his career elsewhere or retire from professional hockey. The 34-year-old would have had one year left on his contract with EHC Visp. He joined the team in 2021. This season, he appeared in 22 regular-season games and 10 postseason games for the Swiss League team.
