It was last season that Örebro recruited Ryan Stoa after several successful years in the KHL.

It was also a success in Örebro where he scored 37 points in 52 matches, of which 19 goals.

But the American left Örebro after last season and signed for HV71 last autumn.

But there was no success.

In eleven matches in the Jönköping club, there were zero points and on Wednesday he left the club.

New club address will be the crisis Djurgården which has five straight losses.

- He is strong in front of the offensive goal cage, that is his great top quality.

A player who likes to go inside and score goals.

He is also useful both as a center and on the edge, says Djurgården's coach Robert Ohlsson to the club's website.

Sports manager happy

The contract with Stoa has been signed for the season.

- With our many injuries on the center side lately, it feels good to be able to add a forward who can play both in the middle and on an edge.

Ryan had a strong season in Örebro last year.

Now he has had just over a month in HV where he was able to train and match to catch up with the rest of the league.

As a result, we have good hopes and expectations that Ryan will be able to end the season strongly with us in Djurgården and help us reverse the current negative trend we are in, says sports director Joakim Eriksson.
