Cancer - Olten's Patrick Obrist out indefinitely

Recently named captain of EHC Olten, Patrick Obrist will be unable to fulfill his on-ice duties for a while, as he is suffering from Lymphoma. This is, understandably, sidelining him indefinitely, as the 32-year-old is undergoing treatment.

"The doctors treating him believe that his chances of recovery are very good, and we are convinced that Patrick Obrist will overcome this challenge with his determination and positive attitude", Olten's managing director, Christian Roth, states.
