Giant as a one-man center
VSV awards the last legionnaire spot to striker
VSV has finalized its squad planning! With the 1.91 meter tall Chase Pearson, the desired center comes to Villach. The 26-year-old playmaker was with Michalovce in Slovakia last season and has even played an NHL game.
"Chase is a perfect fit for our team. He's a good skater, tall, strong, has playmaking qualities, is in his prime and has impressed in the AHL and most recently in Europe in the Slovakian league," says neo-VSV coach Tray Tuomie, delighted with his new center. Person played three seasons at the University of Maine, was then drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in 2015 and even played three NHL games.
The 26-year-old then played mostly in the American Hockey League (AHL), before heading to Europe last season: He recorded a strong 29 points in 23 games for the Slovakian extra league team Dukla Micholavce, including 17 goals. The squad planning is now complete. Team manager Andreas Napokoj: "We wanted to become more physically robust and also significantly younger and faster - and we've succeeded. The squad is very promising."
