"The E.H.C. should play the role of an employers' organization and to [sic] be a challenging interest and pressure group," Lüthi explains. Moreover, at Monday's meeting, the founding members agreed on five main long-term goals.

From the Swiss leagues, SC Bern, EHC Biel, HC Davos, HC Fribourg-Gottéron, Genève-Servette HC, EHC Kloten, Lausanne HC, HC Lugano, EV Zug, the ZSC Lions, and the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers are amongst them.
