Yesterday we told you about Matt Duchene‘s final game with Frolunda in the Swedish Elite League and how he was headed to Switzerland. Today, he announced who he’ll be playing for.

Duchene, via Twitter, said he signed with Ambri-Piotta in the Swiss National League. In 19 games with Frolunda, he scored just four goals and added 10 assists. He also had a bit of a struggle dealing with both his teammates and the officials in Sweden.

In Switzerland, he’ll be joining Vancouver Canucks goalie Cory Schneider who recently joined Ambri-Piotta. Former Penguins forward Richard Park is also playing there but on a full-time basis.
