According to Laurent Kleisl (Journal du Jura), EHC Biel will soon extend the contract of Maxime Macenauer until the end of the year. His deal expires after the weekend. As for Tim Stapleton's replacement, it will take time.

With only about 25 seconds on the clock, ZSC Lions defenseman Marc-André Bergeron got hit into the boards and had to leave the ice injured. Apparently, the 36-year-old is not hurt too badly.

The ZSC Lions have confirmed the signing of HC Davos' defenseman Samuel Guerra. In addition, they also extended the contract of their 18-year-old talent Roger Karrer. Both will stay with the Lions until 2018.

The contract of netminder Thomas Bäumle with the Kloten Flyers is expiring at the end of the month. With Luca Boltshauser back in training, it seems as if the goaltender's deal could not be extended.

EHC Biel announces that the club and forward Tim Stapleton have mutually agreed to dissolve their contract, which would have been valid until the end of the season. They are now looking for a replacement.
