Leitner loses luggage en route to Vasteras

[scotty 59]

VASTERAS, SWE. -- Vasteras rookie forward Leon Leitner had to wait to make his first on-ice impression. There were no immigration visa issues or injuries to deal with, no, Leitner's luggage was lost as the 19-year-old Austrian made his maiden voyage to his new VHL home.

 

Travelling from Vienna, Leitner's luggage somehow made its way onto an incorrect flight and by the time the missing luggage was reported, it was finally tracked down three days later in Brisbane, Australia.

 

A KLM spokesperson declined to comment, stating only company policy.

 

"KLM regrets any event where a passenger loses luggage. Unfortunately given the high volume of passengers, these things are prone to happen and we have assets in place for tracking and recovering any luggage that may be lost."

 

Leitner eventually took to the ice using borrowed gear but the rookie said that nothing will replicate his old skates which he hopes to have back soon.

 

"I'm just glad this all happened before the season, that's for sure," Leitner said.
