The ZSC Lions have extended the contract with popular forward Vinzenz Rohrer for another year, much to the delight of the fans in Zurich.
Vinzenz Rohrer will remain with the ZSC Lions for the coming season. The young forward, who established himself as a fan favorite last season, has extended his contract with the Swiss champions by one year.
The 20-year-old Austrian with a Swiss license returned to the ZSC Lions organization after two years with the Ottawa 67's and played a crucial role on the way to the championship title. His performances and popularity with the fans made him an important figure on the team.
A look into the future
Rohrer, who was drafted in the third round by the Montreal Canadiens in 2022, still harbors dreams of playing in the NHL. Despite his new contract with the ZSC Lions, he could make the leap to North America as early as next summer to further his career in the NHL.
Further contract extensions with the Lions
In addition to Rohrer, the ZSC Lions have also extended the contracts of defenseman Jan Schwendeler and goaltender Robin Zumbühl. Schwendeler, also 20 years old, has signed for three more years, while Zumbühl, who is five years older, has signed for two more seasons. These contract extensions underline the Lions' efforts to build a strong and consistent team.
