HC Ajoie has secured the services of Lorin Froidevaux, Titouan Girardin, Noé Tarchini, and Livio Christen. They all will be part of the National League team for two seasons, with an option for a third.
Only Christen has not previously been with Ajoie's youth department at some point. Instead, the 20-year-old grew up with SC Lyss, SC Bern, and EHC Biel. He has played five National League games for the latter, as well as twelve Swiss League games for EHC Olten.
Tarchini, 19, also played for Biel as a junior, besides HC Delémont-Vallée and Ajoie. Last season, he suited up twelve times for the Bellinzona Snakes.
Of the quartet, 20-year-old Girardin is the one who has been with Ajoie the longest. He started his hockey journey there and stuck with them. This past winter, he gathered some experience with HC Franches-Montagnes in the MyHockey League.
Last, but not least, Froidevaux was with Ajoie early in his junior time, moved to Biel, but eventually returned to Ajoie last summer. During the 2024-25 season, he made 20 games for Olten, and, like Girardin, played for Franches-Montagnes last winter.
