KAC forward Johannes Bischofberger recently ended his season. Now the ICE League leaders have found a replacement. Kevin Clark is a 37-year-old veteran who has been without a club this season. The media had even announced the end of his career. "He can become a key player for us," says coach Kirk Furey.

The KAC said goodbye to the team break with a 3:2 win on penalties in the derby against VSV. Afterwards, they will line up with a reinforcement. The 37-year-old Canadian Kevin Clark comes as a replacement for the nimble Johannes Bischofberger and signed a contract until the end of April. In September, Clark temporarily became an individual coach, the media in Switzerland and Germany even announced the end of his career - but now he is celebrating his comeback on the ice.

Champion with Berlin
After four years in the North American AHL, Clark moved to Europe in 2012 and played in the top leagues in Germany, Switzerland, Russia and Sweden. The winger even became DEL champion with Eisbären Berlin in 2021/22. He also won the prestigious Spengler Cup in Switzerland with Team Canada in 2015/16. 

"Can make us stronger"
"We decided to compensate for the loss of Johannes Bischofberger, one of our key players, with a new addition who also has all the skills to be a key player for us in the last three months of the season. Kevin Clark is very experienced, he has won championships, he was a player who made the difference at many of his clubs. Out of the two or three candidates we were convinced of, we as a coaching staff and the management jointly decided in favor of him because we think he will make our strong team even stronger," says KAC coach Kirk Furey.
