As La Regione Ticino reports, Clarence Kparghai, who had to undergo a hip-surgery in June, will miss the first month and a half of the new season, which is about two weeks more than originally expected.
On the other hand, Julien Vauclair, who suffered a concussion prior to this year's World Championship, and Steve Hirschi, who sustained a shoulder-injury in the playoff-series against Genève-Servette HC, are back on track and ready to go.
