Martin Kariya done in Langnau

Martin Kariya, top scorer with the SCL Tigers of the Swiss NLA last season has decided not to return to the club next season. He will most likely be replaced with a defenceman. At present, Langnau already has defenceman Curtis Murphy and forwards Oliver Setzinger and Jeff Toms under contract. Rumor has it the new import will either be Janne Niinimaa or Nick Naumenko. the latter apparently has an offer from the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers on the table. Todd Elik will be the other odd man out.
