Former Chicago Blackhawks forward Kris Versteeg will not be playing in the Swiss League this upcoming season. Versteeg failed his physical with Swiss Side SC Bern and his contract was voided because of it.
Versteeg voided his contract in the Swiss Side SC Bern because their health plan would not give him full coverage because of a preexisting condition. The preexisting condition was due to surgery he had in 2004.
Bern claimed it was not aware of Versteeg’s condition before signing him to a contract. Versteeg is now a free agent once again and back in North America.
