Swiss League

Although he likes it in Sierre, the coach has told his agent to be open to new opportunities.

The contract of HC Sierre's coach Dany Gelinas expires at the end of this season. He wanted to extend it a year ago, but things have changed. "Last season, it was out of the question to consider another place. Today, as I still have not heard back from my directors, I have to be clear with my situation", he tells Le Nouvelliste.

He has forbidden his agent to call him every time there would be a new option. "My mind is entirely occupied with the present. He is dealing with the future. I understand the uncertainty around the future of HC Sierre. But my current position is uncomfortable and I do not like it."

Gelinas has been with Sierre since 2018. In his first year, they managed to get promoted to the Swiss League.
