February 4 - New deadline for Hugh Quennec and LHC's Board of Directors

Otherwise, the board will step down. Previously, this deadline was on January 31. Ever since December, a mediator is trying to work out a solution with Quennec and Lausanne HC's CEO Sascha Weibel. So far, unsuccessfully. Weibel hopes that the League will issue a statement soon, so he can put more pressure on Quennec.

In an assembly, eleven out of twelve clubs stated that this situation can not be accepted and has to be resolved, as the same source writes. The League itself has not issued a statement yet, but they have summoned both Quennec and Lausanne's Board of Directors to a meeting on December 23.

The controversy started back in December when the Board of Directors publicly announced that they will step down unless the majority shareholder, Quennec, will agree to sell part of his shares to new investors. This money is needed to finance several projects in Lausanne's new stadium, including their own catering.

At the same time, the legal aspects of Quennec's involvement in two NLA clubs was questioned. He has repeatedly explained that this involvement does not interfere with current League regulations. (bsc)
