The Almaguin Spartans are thrilled to announce the re-signing of 2003 Forward Christoph Kirchmayer. Last season the Austrian forward missed a good portion of the season with knee surgery, but when he was in the Spartans line up he was a big contributor putting up 11 points in 8 games.
Spartans Head Coach Myles Pepin had this to say about the return of Kirchmayer “Were really happy to have Chris back with us for another reason. When he came to us via trade from the Rattlers, he was given an opportunity to jump into our top 6 and he certainly made the most of his opportunity. He’s a honest player, that plays a 200 foot game, can create offence and is a team first player.
I think with Chris being healthy and fully recovered, he is ready to have a big season. He is also a player we put a priority on re-signing, due the leadership he brings to our team on and off the ice. He has pro level habits in his training and preparation that will help set the tone and build the right culture with our group right from the first day of training camp.”
Welcome back Christoph Kirchmayer!!!
