Three days ago, Poudrier's agency S+ Services announced that the 24-year-old will leave HCC to pursue his career in France. He will, thus, leave Switzerland after having played in the NLB for HC Ajoie and HCC from 2013 to 2016. In the beginning of March, L'Express-L'Impartial reported that he would likely not receive a new contract with HCC.

In 146 NLB games, Poudrier managed to score 60 points (24 goals, 36 assists). In addition, he put up three points for HC Ambrì-Piotta in six NLA games. (bsc)
