Shirt swap for Olofsson in the National League

With a view to the NL season 2022/23, EHC Biel reports a significant influx – and at the same time weakens its cantonal rivals from the Emmental with this transfer. The current National League top scorer Jesper Olofsson (28) is moving from SCL Tigers to Zealand with a 2-year contract. The Swede currently has 45 scorer points (23 goals / 22 assists) from 35 championship games. Biel’s General Manager Martin Steinegger is delighted: “Jesper Olofsson has an outstanding shot with which he can spin or decide games on his own.”

Hudacek no longer plays for Lugano

Libor Hudacek leaves Lugano after just over 2 months and changes to the KHL with immediate effect. The Slovak striker agreed with the “Bianconeri” to terminate his contract, which was valid until the end of the season. Despite good statistics – Hudacek scored 8 goals in 10 games – the 31-year-old has not been part of Chris McSorley’s team since the other foreign players are fit again.

Hughes as additional support for Geneva

Geneva-Servette, which is still in need of personnel in the goalkeeper position, found another temporary solution. The Calvinstädter can borrow from Friborg-Gottéron Connor Hughes until January 10th – with the option of an extension. As a condition of the deal, it was negotiated that the 25-year-old is not allowed to be on the match sheet for Geneva against the NL leader and can be ordered back by his employer at any time. On Thursday in the 5-1 win in Zug, Dominic Nyffeler, on loan from Kloten, stood between the posts of the “Adler”.

Bachofner has to miss 1 game

The disciplinary commission of Swiss Ice Hockey imposed a suspension on Zug’s Jérôme Bachofner and a fine of 1500 francs. With this penalty, the 25-year-old offensive player has to pay for a check from behind in the NL championship game against Geneva-Servette on Thursday evening (1: 5). The action against Josh Jooris happened in the final phase of the match, in the 58th minute.

Cancellation at U20 national team

The U20 World Cup preparation game between Switzerland and the Czech Republic, which should have taken place on Friday night in Red Deer (CAN), was canceled due to Covid cases. The U20 World Cup in Canada starts this Saturday and ends on January 5th.

Early season end for Morant

Johann Morant from the ZSC Lions had to undergo a second operation on his knee after persistent complaints. For the 35-year-old, this means the end of the season prematurely. The defender tore a cruciate ligament and medial ligament during training in March 2021 and spent a long time in rehabilitation training after the first operation. A second operation was necessary because the symptoms did not subside under physical exertion. Morant has a contract with Zurich until the end of the current season.
