a tale of two Brothers // VHLE Draft

[Daniel Janser 2,183]

Swiss Central Gazzette

 

And we are back with the promised update on our Swiss Hitmen and where they are going to play.

 

After being drafted 8th (highest VHL pick by a Swiss player ever) overall by the Calgary Wranglers, Daniel was picked at number 9 (and by doing so became the first Swiss to be drafted into the VHLE) by the Oslo Storm, a new founded team in the VHLE (relocated from Minnesota in the VHLM). As all the contracts with the existing roster had been invalidated by the change of league, the Storm will have to rebuild from scratch.

Marcel was picked by the acting Renaissance Cup holder Västeras Eagles at number 35 in the 4th round.

 

We finally were able to reach the brothers on the phone to give their comments:

Marcel: 'My injuries have healed well and I am back into full practice. The next season I will be playing for Halifax 21st and have a swing at the Founder's Cup. After that we will see, but I am excited to be picked by the Västeras Eagles and will do my best to make the lineup next season.'

Daniel: 'I am very excited to turn a new page with Oslo. It is very interesting to be a part of building up a new franchise and I hope I can contribute with my skills on and off the ice for the future success of this club. The final goal is the VHL though and I think I am a good fit for the Wranglers as Perry @tinafrombobsburgers and Vintanen @Xdjk93 are veteran left wingers and I hope to get to play with and learn from them, before they retire. I have already tickets to fly to Oslo and rented a flat in the Ullensakergata, close to the Nye Jordal Amfi, where we will play. It is all pretty new for me and I endeavour to learn Norse as soon as possible, so I can do my shopping (and of course talk to the ladies ;))'

We will be back when hockey recommences properly for the brothers.
