Prince Albert Raiders News Release


Prince Albert, SK - Left Winger Kris Schmidli has signed with the GCK Lions of the NLB Swiss Pro League and will not return to the Raiders next season. The NLB GCK Lions are a farm team of the ZSC Lions of the NLA which is the top professional hockey league in Switzerland; the ZSC Lions are coached by Marc Crawford, former NHL player and coach.

Schmidli joined the Raiders in January as a part of the deal that sent Leon Draisaitl to Kelowna. Schmidli played in 17 games with the Raiders scoring 17 points on 7 goals and 10 assists.

"We encouraged Kris to do what was best for his career. He enjoyed his time in Canada and here in Prince Albert but felt signing a pro contract in his home country of Switzer-land was his best option. We thank him for his contributions and wish him the best of luck,," Bruno Campese, Raider General Manager.
