National League

NLA - According to a report in the Neue Luzerner Zeitung, EVZ's current backup goalie Gianluca Hauser will most likely leave the club in order to get more ice time. Elite-A goalie Noël Bader is supposed to become their new backup.

The 20-year-old Hauser is part of EV Zug's NLA-team since last season and probably won't sign a contract extension at the end of this term: "He needs ice time, it doesn't make sense if he sits on our bench for another year," EV Zug's team manager Reto Kläy says to the Neue Luzerner Zeitung.

As of the 2015-16 season, EVZ's Elite-A netminder Noël Bader, 18, is supposed to back up starting goalie Tobias Stephan. In addition, EVZ is also looking for a young and low-salary Swiss forward to replace Fabrice Herzog. (tme)
