Peterson came in from the Milwaukee Admirals at the North American AHL earlier this month. Since then, the American has played two games for his new employer. Before the match at Iserlohn Roosters on December 17, the striker announced that he was no longer able to play because he was ill, had difficulty sleeping and wanted to return to the United States immediately, Bettgheim-Steelers wrote in a letter.

We wanted to send him to the doctor for an examination – he refused. For several days we tried to keep him under medical care – he always refused to do this,” he also did not accept psychological support. “We did all this in close coordination with his agent,” the club said. This in turn tried to influence his pupil.

Bietigheim Steelers Examining a Compensation Claim
