And it is already the "heavy" is announced of
side of the Penguins with the arrival of British
Colin Shields and American Scott Matzka!
Scott Matzka (right in photo) is a 33 year old striker (11 May) to resume full well: he played in North America, before emigrating to Europe: Germany, Denmark, Finland. Last season, he played in the team of Cardiff Devils EIHL (Elite Ice Hockey League - the championship of the United Kingdom) where he scored 33 goals with 64 assists (second "top scorer" in the championship with 97 points). Among the titles won by the experienced player, we note that Scott Matzka was champion in 2006 Odense Denmark (where he was team captain), or champion Mestis (Finnish second tier) in 2010. Scott Matzka played last season at Cardiff Arms Park next to a former Morzine, British goalkeeper Stevie Lyle.
He will find in Morzine-Avoriaz one of his former opponents EIHL, namely Colin Shields. The Scot is a 31 year old striker who played for three years with the Belfast Giants team he assured the captaincy last season. Drafted in 2000 by the Philadelphia Flyers in the NHL, Colin Shields (left) is a mainstay of the team of Great Britain for over ten years (he was at various times assistant captain and captain of the national team ). He has been champion of EIHL playoffs and "top scorer" in 2010 with the Belfast Giants. He also played last season with an ex-Morzine, namely American Dan Welch (he also played with Stevie Lyle in Belfast).
Suffice to say that both Scott Matzka Colin Shields will not arrive completely in unknown territory by landing in Morzine, because their teammates will certainly talked about the club including Morzine ... the 2006-2007 season (where Dan Welch and Stevie Lyle played in Morzine). Season when the Penguins had finished first in the regular season and runners-up France.
