Bayern: Bourque continues to defend for Straubing Tigers

Straubing (dpa / lby) - The Straubing Tigers can also plan with defender Trent Bourque in the new season of the German Ice Hockey League. Things went badly for the Canadian, who moved to Niederbayern in February, last season. After just five appearances, the 23-year-old suffered a serious upper-body injury, which resulted in his premature end of the season. "After a long recovery period with operations and rehabilitation therapies, Trent Bourque is now returning to Straubing," the club announced on Friday.

"It was definitely not an easy experience to get injured in my fifth game, but I'm looking forward to returning to Straubing soon," said the professional. The Tigers were eliminated in the playoffs in the quarterfinals against the Adler Mannheim.
