EHC Biel still looking for an assistant coach and two import forwards

According to Steinegger, they have not compiled a list of certain names for the assistant position. However, René Matte, former assistant coach for HC Fribourg-Gottéron, seems to be one who could fit their profile. "Yes, I have indeed talked to him," Steinegger confirms. "He did a good job in Fribourg and even though it's just a detail, he speaks French."

Moreover, as Steinegger continues, Biel will very likely look for two import forwards. Therefore, former EV Zug defenseman Daniel Sondell does not seem to be an option anymore. "There is a lot of hidden potential in our defense," Steinegger concludes. (bsc)
