On another positive note the Rabbits also reported re-signing Claus Magaard, one of the CDL's top shooters. However, the team is still lacking height so it will be interesting to see what other Rabbits can be pulled out of the hat in Svendborg in the off-season.
Rumors also have Adama Darboe and Donald Rutherford (199-F/C-87, college: Catawba), two of the team's leading scorers, heading somewhere else.
Svendborg have extended the contract of Claus Magaard (194-F/G-86). The guard had a solid season with the Rabbits. He tallied 8.0 points, 2.9 boards, 1.1 assists per game in Ligaen last season. It will be the ninth season with the Rabbits for Claus Magaard. He was Danish Ligaen champion and two-times Cup winner with the team. [read more]
