Genève-Servette announces the arrival of Jason Akeson (34 years old) for the next 2 seasons. The Canadian striker should start the 2025/2026 financial year as a Swiss!
Akeson is currently shining in the ICEHL, the Austrian championship. With his Italian club Pustertal, he totaled 106 points in 99 matches. He previously played 5 years in the DEL (German championship) where he was the league’s TopScorer twice. He arrived in Europe after spending 6 seasons in North America (22 NHL matches and 406 AHL matches – 115 goals, 218 assists).
If the player arrives this summer as a Canadian, he will start the season as a Swiss! Indeed, Akeson is married to a Swiss woman and if everything goes as planned, he should receive his white cross passport during the month of September 2025.
A rough diamond trained at the Club
Simas Ignatavicius (17 years old) will join the first team next season. Standing at 1m89 and weighing 85kg, the Swiss-licensed Latvian striker performed well in the CHL semi-final against Zurich. Engaged with the U20 elite this season, he has 16 goals and 24 assists in 35 matches.
