EV Zug announced this morning that defenseman Johann Morant has extended his contract for two more years. The 29-year-old will thus stay with the Bulls at least until the end of the 2017-18 season.

According to Le Nouvelliste, the leaders of HC Red Ice will interview three potential candidates for the vacant head coaching position tomorrow morning. Among them is Olivier Ecoeur.

As the Neue Zürcher Zeitung reports, the leaders of the twelve NLA clubs met today in Egerkingen to discuss rising salaries and their impact on the financial stability of the clubs. Four propositions resulted out of the meeting.

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.
