Frédérik Gauthier returns to HC Ajoie with a short-term contract

With a few of their imports in the infirmary, HC Ajoie has decided to sign Frédérik Gauthier to a contract valid until mid-November. The agreement contains an option for the remainder of the season. With two defenders and five forwards already under contract, Gauthier will be the eighth foreigner of the Ajoulots.

The 30-year-old had already suited up from 2022 to 2024 for HC Ajoie, which he then left last season to join Vityaz Moscow Region. With the KHL team, he scored 13 goals and collected eight assists in 54 games.
