HCC's Erb close to extension, Merola on his way to HC Fribourg-Gottéron?

Merola has already played with the Dragons' junior teams and the National League A squad. This season, the 21-year-old has appeared in three games (one goal).

Raphael Erb, on the other hand, should soon sign a new contract with HCC, as only "two or three details" still need sorting out, team manager Régis Fuchs confirms.

Additionally, also talks with goaltender Remo Giovannini are making good progress, while the club is waiting for a response by Patrick Zubler, whether or not he wants to stay. (lcu)
