Thus, Genève-Servette HC's head coach Chris McSorley has not given him the go-ahead yet. While Rod wants to see his dream of playing with the first team of the Swiss national team come true, his neck problems might just prevent him from being able to play this time. (mso)
UPDATE According to Christian Maillard (Tribune de Genève), Noah Rod has indeed declared forfeit for the Slovakia Cup and will thus not suit up for the Swiss national team. As the SIHF announces, they will not replace him. They thus will only play with twelve forwards. (mso) - 09 February 2016, 10:07 AM
