Carter Camper, 34, leaves Leksand for Zug.
According to Sportbladet’s info, the American is moving straight from a holiday in London to his new club:
– There were sentimental days and Leksand will always be a special place for me and my family, Camper tells Sportbladet.
Earlier in the season, Sportbladet managed to reveal that the SHL’s top scorer in the past two seasons, Carter Camper, had not been offered a new contract with Leksand for the next season.
Something he was disappointed about and also admitted that it affected his game.
– I’d be a liar if I didn’t answer yes to that, he told Sportbladet just a few weeks ago.
– It’s frustrating and difficult. I have been here for three years, I have three children and they have grown up here. I try to figure out what’s best, not only for me and my business, but also for my family.
Expressen revealed yesterday that Carter Camper will be leaving Lexand to play overseas. Later, Vallo Kuririn states that it is about Zug, information Sportbladet also has. The deal was supposed to be completed late last night.
Averaged nearly a point per game
It was about 3pm yesterday, and Carter Camper had boarded the train at Lexand with trunk and 20 clubs to go to Arlanda.
The first destination was London, and a short vacation with the family in the English capital was already planned.
But after that Kamper will go on to move to Zug, which is his new club. The same Swiss club that recently released Peter Cehlarik to Leksand and Sportbladet have information that it is a commercial deal.
Carter Camper officiated 137 games during his three seasons at Lakesand, earning 121 points.
Sportbladet welcomed Carter Camper to lunch on Wednesday, when Zug and Leksand confirmed the move:
– There were sentimental days and Leksand will always be a special place for me and my family, he says and continues.
The fans are very supportive and I will always have good memories of the city.
Regarding the fact that he’s leaving now, just a week or so before the playoffs start and under somewhat strange circumstances, he said this:
– this is how hockey works and Lexand had to do this in order to rethink his future. I respect that. I am also grateful for the time I got into Leksands IF.
