In addition to Benjamin Conz, Damiano Ciaccio, and Noah Patenaude, HC Ajoie has decided to sign a fourth goaltender. Kilian Bernasconi thus joins the Ajoulots from EHC Arosa. A product of HC Lugano, HC Chiasso, and HC Ambrì-Piotta's organizations, the 21-year-old suited up with EHC Arosa in the MyHockey League last season.
The signing of Bernasconi is to be seen as a precautionary measure in case of injuries: "It's important to be able to count on different options for the key position of goalkeeper, especially in the event of injury. With the arrival of Kilian Bernasconi, we can look forward to the coming season with confidence" explains team manager Julien Vauclair.
