One more year with Zug for Raphael Diaz

Earlier today, EV Zug announced an extension. Raphael Diaz is staying on board for an additional season, his second after returning from HC Fribourg-Gottéron. In January, the veteran turned 40.

"Raphi has once again impressively demonstrated his value to the team", team manager Reto Kläy states. "This contract extension is therefore doubly important: on the one hand, I am happy for the player, Raphael Diaz; on the other hand, for the entire club. With his wealth of experience, Raphi plays a major role in our rebuilding process, in which we are deliberately focusing on developing young players."

This past season, Diaz only managed to suit up 20 times due to a head injury, still recording one goal and seven assists. It brought his National League games up to 973, with the 1000-mark in an achievable distance.
