The long sick leave of the Finnish defender is extended – A familiar name from the league was called up as a replacement
The Swiss NL club HC Ambri-Piotta announces that Finnish defender Jesse Virtanen will remain sidelined due to injury. The club has acquired William Worge Kreü as a replacement for Virtanen during his absence.
Virtanen, 35, was injured last spring and underwent surgery for a lower body injury. He has not been able to return to action since then. Virtanen has represented Ambri-Piotta for four seasons and finished last season with 51 games played, recording 7+18=25 points.
Swede Worge Kreü, 26, was seen last season in the Liiga with Jukurit. He played 47 games for the club, scoring 3+7=10 points, before moving to Germany’s Adler Mannheim for the remainder of the season in February. There, Worge Kreü played four regular season games without points and 13 playoff games with 1+3 points.
Measuring 197 cm and weighing 84 kg, Worge Kreü has played 245 games in the SHL during his career.
