Glasgow Clan forward Mathieu Roy has left Glasgow Clan with immediate effect to pursue a longer-term hockey opportunity back home in Canada.

The 36-year-old originally joined the Clan back in 2019, having previously iced for Sheffield Steelers during a four-year stint. He ends his time in the Viaplay Elite League 339 points in 328 league and cup matches.

Clan associate coach Dyson Stevenson commented: “Roy was a very important piece to the puzzle, it’s really sad to see him go as he was a forward that played top minutes for us.

"A very good job opportunity for the future became available to him, he came in and told me of his situation and was very upset with having to leave a team especially because everything is starting to head in the right direction.

"However, he is a veteran player with a family and he thought it was very important to put his family and future first and I think that is very respectable.

"The organisation and the players respect Roy’s decision to put his family and future first."
