HCFG to give youngsters a chance, Schmid back on the ice

As Gerd Zenhäusern tells the "Freiburger Nachrichten", while the young players such as Yannik Boppart, Flavien Etter, or Danielius Cecekovas are not a fixed part of the roster, they will get a chance. 

They will not be able to replace Biasca. The Dragons are, however, also looking at the international market. “As long as I don't know what these players are planning, I can't rule anything out,” says Zenhäusern, when asked about Philipp Kurashev, Thomas Bordeleau, and Brennan Othmann. “But if they do become available on the market, we're interested.”

In other news, Sandro Schmid has returned to on-ice practice. However, it is not yet clear, whether the forward, who suffered a knee injury, will be ready in time for the season opener.
