SC Bern's Canadian forward Andrew Ebbett out for several weeks

The 33-year-old Canadian is suffering from an undisclosed injury which he sustained in yesterday's CHL-game against Linz. As a consequence, the Bears will start into the season with only two of their imports - defenseman Maxim Noreau and forward Mark Arcobello.

In addition to Ebbett, as the Berner Zeitung reported in today's edition, also defenseman Eric Blum had to quit yesterday's game due to injury and might be questionnable for Friday's season opener against the SCL Tigers.
