HCC's Benoît Mondou has recovered from his severe concussion

"I am back at a hundred percent", the Canadian forward informs. "When I was practicing in the beginning I had some headaches but now I have worked a lot and it has gotten better."

One surprise participant at HCC's first on-ice training this Monday was Lionel Favre, who has been announced as HC Université Neuchâtel's new netminder, leaving La Chaux-de-Fonds.

As the 25-year-old explains to the same source, he has the possibility to swap between the two teams. This will give him the possibility to get some playing time in Neuchâtel, however for now he won't rule out any option and it could also be that he will appear in a couple of NLB games if necessary.
