Five candidates for HC Fribourg-Gottéron's vacant head coaching position

While Hartley already confirmed his interest in the position, the identity of the other four candidates has not yet been revealed. However, as Dubé tells the newspaper, they are all not Swiss.

As for the Dragons' search for import players, Dubé will attend some games at the World Championship, notably games of Finland and the Czech Republic, to scout some players. He is looking for a defenseman as well as a forward.

Furthermore, Laurent Meunier's case has been put on hold for the duration of the World Championship. L'Express-L'Impartial had reported in mid-February, that the HC La Chaux-de-Fonds player would join the Dragons as of the 2017-18 season.
