Latvian hockey national team player Andris Džeriņš in a conversation with TVNET discoveredthat he is still waiting for offers to pursue a career abroad.
Last season, the striker represented the Continental Hockey League (KHL) club Riga “Dinamo”, marking 52 goals, eight passes, 41 penalties and a negative efficiency of -16 in 52 main tournament matches.
Prior to this season, Dinamo did not offer a contract to the 32-year-old, who has spent nine intermittent seasons with the team and is still unemployed at the end of November. “I continue to train and wait for offers. I do not know how to describe the situation exactly. Maybe it’s a supply vacuum. The situation is no different anywhere, ”says the hockey player.
While the coronavirus Covid-19 continues to spread in Europe and elsewhere in the world, some Latvian hockey players have chosen to play in the Optibet Hockey League (OHL) as a temporary option. Džeriņš revealed that he is not looking in the direction of the Latvian Premier League yet. “I am not really interested in such a variant, nor has anyone called me. Maybe you’ll have to, maybe something like that will happen. I really haven’t considered that option yet. “
At the beginning of November, Džeriņš participated in the testing tournament “Deutschland Cup” as a member of the Latvian national team, gaining a small practice. “It simply came to our notice then. The game is always the most enjoyable. So we just train – to be able to play. That’s the nice sweet food, “said the attacker.
Džeriņš has represented the country in nine world championships, he has nine goals and 17 assists in 58 games.
