GSHC's Jonathan Mercier back on the ice tomorrow, several players still out

Mercier suffered an upper body injury in last weekend's game against EHC Kloten and had to stay away from the rink on Tuesdays' game against HC La Chaux-de-Fonds. As for Almond, the forward has been injured since the beginning of October, he was back on the ice on Friday for practise and is likely to return to game action after the international break.

However, there are still several GSHC players sidelined: Floran Douay (back pain), Thomas Heinimann (appendix surgery), Yoan Massimino (upper body) and Mattéo Détraz (concussion).
