EHC Olten signs new import player, Ryan Vesce to hang up his skates?

In his contract with the Czech team, the 32-year-old forward had an out-clause in case there is any interest from abroad. "I look forward to this new challenge," Brian Ihnacak says. He has signed a contract for the rest of the season, including an option for another year. Over the course of this season, the Canadian, who is also in possession of an Italian passport, has suited up in 18 games for HC Verva Litvínov in the Czech Extraliga, in which he put up a total of twelve points (five goals, seven assists).

Ryan Vesce, on the other hand, who is still dealing with the aftermath of a concussion will return to Switzerland at the beginning of 2018. Although there is progress after a stay in a special clinic in Phoenix, a return to the ice does not seem likely. It is possible that the 35-year-old has to end his career.
