HC Ajoie has announced extensions with four of their youngsters. Two netminders, Noah Patenaude and Kilian Bernasconi, have agreed to stay on board for one more year. Two forwards, Lilian Garessus and Louis Robin, will remain part of the team until 2027.
"I am delighted to be able to count on these young players in the future. They are hard workers and they are making steady progress", team manager Julien Vauclair states. "They will continue to develop alongside the more experienced members of the group and, I hope, play an increasingly important role."
Patenaude made one game for Ajoie and nine for the Bellinzona Snakes this season, Bernasconi appeared in two for Ajoie and two for the Snakes.
Garessus scored three goals and collected one assist in 41 National League games (and was pointless in one game with EHC Olten). Robin suited up 44 times, recording two goals and four assists.
