Derek Roy signs with SC Bern in Swiss League

Derek Roy signed with SC Bern of the Swiss National League A on Saturday, Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal reports.

Roy performed quite well during the preseason while on a professional tryout contract with the Capitals, but was ultimately unable to secure a spot on the team's 23-man roster. Rather than wait for another potential offer from an NHL club at some point during the regular season, the 32-year-old forward will head overseas to play with SC Bern of the Swiss National League A. Roy's time in the NHL has likely come to an end.
