"The contract extension is great news for the team and for the whole club," team manager Jan Alston says. "Cristobal is an essential part of this team. We are pleased to work with a goaltender of his quality and professionalism."

The native of Saint-Martin-d'Hères, France is currently in his fourth season with Lausanne HC. He returned to Switzerland in 2010, after he had played in the NHL for eight years, interrupted only by the 2004-05 lockout. (tme)
