Russian Championat journalist Pavel Panishev has commented on the accession of Canadian striker Jay Lee Lipon and Czech defender Ondrzie Vitasek to the Continental Hockey League (KHL) to the club “Dinamo” in Riga.
“Pēteris Skudra continues to strengthen the line-up. Failed [Habarovskas] “Amur” to say goodbye to the defender Vitāsek, taking his compatriot Mašina in his place, as Riga’s “Dinamo” immediately signed with the Ondrzej contract. Considering that there is no legionnaire limit in Riga, there may be as many foreign players in the Latvian capital as possible. The Czech Republic has an impressive experience. Vitāsek should strengthen the team of Rigans and become the first player of two shifts, ”Paniševs expressed his opinion.
The 29-year-old Vitāseks spent last season in the ranks of the Khabarovsk “Amur”, where he scored in 55 games with five goals and seven assists or 12 points. He has been playing at KHL since 2017, also spending one season at the Yugra club in Khanty-Mansiysk, but before that he represented only Czech teams, including the national team.
Another new achievement of Dinamo Riga is Lipon, an attacker of the Winnipeg system, whose main problem is the large number of penalty minutes. An ant should pay attention to Canadian discipline, but he is also taken to a large extent to have a hockey player on the team who is able to stand as a member of his team, ”the journalist believes. “It is expected that at KHL we will see a struggle with Lipon’s participation.”
Riga “Dinamo” has not yet officially confirmed Lipona’s joining the team, but many factors testify to this. The hockey player has shared pictures on his social network “Instagram” in which he has said goodbye to his homeland: “Crazy 48 hours and it is difficult for me to say goodbye to everyone. However, I love you and am thrilled about the upcoming opportunity in Riga, Latvia, ”writes Lipons. The hockey player has also started to follow Dinamo club Instagram, which is another indicator that he will join this club.
Last season, the 27-year-old striker played for the American Hockey League (AHL) “Moose”, where he collected 31 (13 + 18) scores in 61 matches. 2015/2016 In nine matches, the Canadian “Jets” from Winnipeg stood out in nine matches.
