Undrafted 4th year center Chase Berger(8) leaves HC Banska Bystrica with a solid one-year impression, scoring a career high 21 goals and 39 points in 46 Tipos Extraliga games.
The 6′ 194 lbs. forward signs with Bietigheim Steelers of DEL for 2022/2023.
He was always a good scorer through 4 years at Penn State University Nittany Lions with 10+ goals and 10+ assists in each session.
The St. Louis, MO native started his pro career with a pair of seasons for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, but seemed a little stilted on the scoresheet in the AHL.
At 27-years old, he may be starting to climb overseas a little on the late side.
He takes a fairly solid frame for his German team, getting 8 goals and 25 assists in 51 games to another new experience, agreeing with HC Kosice of Slovak Extraliga for 2023/2024.
In 37 games, he scores 10 goals and 17 assists with a +11 rating, but will add another league to his belt, signing in the IceHL with Fehervar AV19 for 2024/2025.
