The ZSC Lions' Roman Wick and HC Davos' Beat Forster will definitely not return to the Swiss national team, as the Aargauer Zeitung reports. The new coaching staff around Patrick Fischer had tried to persuade them otherwise.

According to Die Südostschweiz, HC Davos is still very interested in acquiring Joren van Pottelberghe for the upcoming season. The interest is mutual, but the young netminder's focus is currently on the World Juniors.

The SIHF announces that they have initiated proceedings against the GCK Lions for a violation of the league rules in the game against HC Red Ice this past Friday.

HC Ajoie has been looking for a replacement for injured goaltender Elien Paupe since last week. They now are able to count on HC Sierre's goaltender Sébastien Pittet until January 10.

As the SCL Tigers announce, they have loaned their young forward Fabian Haberstich to EHC Visp in the NLB, where he will play via B-license as of now.
