EHC Biel extends with Léo Braillard, reportedly signed Niko Huuhtanen

A member of EHC Biel's organization since 2018, Léo Braillard made his pro debut this season. The 20-year-old forward has appeared in ten National League games so far. The club believes that the homegrown player has potential and is developing well.

For a youngster who stays with EHC Biel, there is another one who is rumored to be joining soon. According to a Finnish newspaper, Helsingin Sanomat, Niko Huuhtanen has decided to join Biel after leaving North America a few days ago. He was part of the organization of the Tampa Bay Lightning, which, however, put him through waivers.

The 22-year-old spent last season with the Syracuse Crunch in the AHL, collecting 20 points in 52 games, while before that he was a member of Jukurit in the Liiga, with which he scored 36 goals and recorded 43 assists in 106 games.
