SCB signs Luca Hischier to two-year deal & confirms Reichert-Dostoinov swap

The 19-year-old forward has been part of SC Bern's organisation since 2010, when he joined their U17 team from Visp. He has been an integral part of the Elite A team's playoff run and eventual title win this season, scoring 15 points (five goals, ten assists) in twelve games.

Furthermore, SCB also confirms that they have indeed acquired Marc Reichert, 34, from HC Ambrì-Piotta in exchange for Alexei Dostoinov, 24. SCB will take over what is left of Reichert's contract with HC Ambrì-Piotta. The forward will thus stay with the Bears until the end of the 2014/15 season. He has scored 23 points in 51 games for HCAP this year.

HC Ambrì-Piotta will go down the same road as the Bears and therefore also keep Alexei Dostoinov until his contract runs out 2015. The Russian forward with a Swiss player-license has scored 16 points in 49 games for SCB this season.
