Vernon, BC: The Vernon Vipers are pleased to announce the addition of 2006-born forward Leon Bußmann (Bussmann) for the remainder of the season.
“Leon’s addition to our lineup gives us an added boost in all aspects of the game,” says Vipers GM and Head Coach Matt Cooke. “Leon has played games in the top German League, the DEL, and knows what it takes to compete. We fully expect him to make the adjustment to Canada quickly and we are excited about his offensive upside.”
The Starnberg, Germany product stands 6’0” and 185 pounds. He spent the first part of this season with Iserlohner EC U20, where he recorded an impressive 25 points in 18 games.
“I’m really hyped to be joining the Vernon Vipers,” says Bussmann. “It’s a great organization with a winning culture and awesome fans. I can’t wait to hit the ice with the boys, work hard every day, and do whatever I can to help the team win.”
Bussmann is expected to make his Vipers debut tonight when Vernon takes on the Spruce Grove Saints.
Please join us in welcoming Leon and his family to the organization.
