NLA - SIHF's single judge Reto Steinmann has initiated proceedings against Genève-Servette HC's forward Alexandre Picard (boarding) as well as HC Ambrì-Piotta's defender Ryan O'Byrne (check to the head and neck-area).

RUMOR - With Holloway, Gragnani and Ritchie likely leaving SC Bern at the end of the season, the Bears will have to find new import players. Daniel Brière and Mark Arcobello are supposedly on Sven Leuenberger's radar, says Klaus Zaugg.

NLA - Team manager Martin Steinegger is not the only member of EHC Biel, who is not sure about Reto von Arx joining the team. Sandro Wyssbrod, delegate of the Board of Directors, also seems not too keen on this idea.

MEDICAL REPORT - Kevin Romy sustained a collarbone injury in the game against HC Fribourg-Gottéron on Friday. However, according to the radio station Yes FM, he did not suffer a fracture.

MEDICAL REPORT - As Le Matin reports, Julien Sprunger and Jérémie Kamerzin were not able to play until the end of the game against Genève-Servette HC.
