In a week, they will then get together and decide whether or not HCT will sign Assaoui until the end of the season. The 26-year-old defenseman played for Martigny Red Ice last season but then had to look for a new employer when the team had to declare bankruptcy.

He is now playing for HC Sion-Nendaz 4 Vallées of the MySports League and leads the league, together with Alban Rexha, in scoring. In 14 games for Sion, he has recorded six goals and 21 assists.
