SCRJ Lakers will not extend Radek Smolenak's short-term contract

Smolenak was signed to a one-month tryout deal by the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers at the beginning of October, including an option for the entire 2018-19 season. However, since Casey Wellman has recovered from his injury and is back in the lineup, the club will not make use of said option.

According to Blick's Christoph Schär, the 31-year-old Czech forward will leave the Rosenstädter after Saturday's home game against Fribourg. Smolenak has appeared in a total of seven games for the Lakers, recording one goal and one assists.

Rapperswil-Jona verlängert den Temporär-Vertrag mit Radek Smolenak nicht. Der Tscheche verlässt die Lakers nach der morgigen Runde. Dies weil Casey Wellman wieder fit ist.
