Lechbruck - Those in charge and also the players of the ERC Lechbruck certainly imagined it differently: Surprisingly, the two contingent players, Canadians Frederic Abraham and Loic Jarry, leave the national division.
Both asked for their respective contracts to be terminated.
Abraham will join a French second division team - he will play for the "Rafters" for the last time on Sunday, December 26th, at the home game against SC Forst.
Jarry has already flew back to Montreal and will not play ice hockey for the time being.
He asserted personal reasons for his decision.
Abraham and Jarry are leaving the ERC Lechbruck
“Fred and Loic had a great life and sporting success here in Lechbruck, which both of us have confirmed. I initially denied both of them the release and insisted on compliance with the contracts, ”said ERC chairman Manfred Sitter. After several discussions, however, it had become clear that insisting that the agreements be adhered to for the club "ultimately makes no sense either economically or in terms of sport," said Sitter. The club boss sat down with the players at the beginning of the week and agreed "the exit modalities with corresponding contractual penalties". It was important to him “that we find a solution even in this difficult situation, that we can all look each other in the eye when we say goodbye and that we part on good terms. It will be like that now, ”said Sitter.
Both players diligently ensured goals and assists in fourth place in the table, their departure means a weakening initially.
The Lechbruckers are now sounding out the player market, says Sitter, in order to find a replacement as soon as possible.
