HC Fribourg-Gottéron
Mark French will now serve as head coach and director of hockey operations for the Pittsburgh Penguins' ECHL affiliation. After three years in Switzerland, he thus moves back overseas.
While the CEO of the Dragons Raphaël Berger was not willing to disclose the details of the deal they made with French, he did admit to La Liberté that "savings, regardless of the amount, are welcome in this situation." He does not yet know what they will do with the money as they want to further assess their situation.
