Spengler Cup Bound - Ryuu Crimson

[SlapshotWrangler 864]

KYOTO, JAPAN - Ryuu Crimson will be coming out of retirement. His last stint in the NHL was with the Calgary Flames where he had a respectable 27 goals, 46 assists, and a plus minus of +10 in his final season, shortly before he chose to retire. This was supposed to be the last time we saw him in a hockey jersey. Sure, now he’s a coach, who initially started off with the Dinamo Riga but now coaches a Japanese high school hockey team down in Kyoto but we never expected Ryuu to show up on the hockey scene ever again. Until now.

 

Ryuu Crimson will be coming out of retirement to play for Team Canada at the 2021 Spengler Cup. He will be making his return to Davos, Switzerland, where he spent half of his VHL career and will be playing in front of some familiar faces.

 

“Yeah, it’s gonna be a fun time. Not only will I be in front of the Davos faithful again but I get to represent my country. I’ll be completely honest, I never expected to play competitive hockey again as a player but when I got the offer to join the team, I just couldn’t refuse.”
