As the Journal du Jura reports, the goalkeeper Dominic Nyffeler, 26, has seen the B-license in his contract activated, while the two young forwards Gilian Kohler, 18, and Jan Petrig, 20, return to Ajoie from a loan with HC Ajoie.

Moreover, also possibly returning to EHC Biel is defenseman Kristian Suleski, 21, who was also loaned to HC Ajoie for most of the season. However, as declared by EHC Biel's team manager, Martin Steinegger, his case will be analyzed during the week. Also back, but from EHC Kloten, is defenseman Dominik Egli, who, however, is unable to play as he is recovering from a foot injury.

According to the same source, the two players joining HC Ambrì-Piotta via B-licenses are defenseman Zaccheo Dotti, 24, brother of HCAP's Isacco Dotti, and the Canadian forward Jonathan Hazen. The 28-year-old scored the most goals during the Swiss League regular season (30 goals).
