Saint John Sea Dogs News Release
SAINT JOHN, N.B. - The Saint John Sea Dogs announced today that import player Juraj Siska has returned to Slovakia to continue rehab on his neck and back.
The Sea Dogs selected Siska ninth overall in the 2013 CHL Import Draft.
"Juraj spent the last three weeks practicing and training with the team," said Sea Dogs' Head Coach and General Manager Mike Kelly. "While he has worked very hard over that period, he is still a long way from being fit enough to play at this level. He has enjoyed his time here but he needs to go back home and follow up on some procedures that he hopes will speed up his recovery so that he can be ready to play at a high level."
"He will return to Nitra, Slovakia, where he will continue to receive treatment and we will be in close contact with him and his agent so that we can monitor his progress. We are obviously disappointed that Juraj cannot join us at this point, but we will not put a player into the lineup if we believe he runs the risk of further injury."
The Sea Dogs take on the Voltigeurs tonight at 8 p.m. in Drummondville. Listen LIVE on News 88.9 FM. Watch LIVE on TELUS (fee applies).
