B-licence with Sierre for Ajoie's Emils Veckaktins

With the playoffs on the horizon, HC Sierre has reinforced their roster with Emils Veckaktins. A member of HC Ajoie, the forward is joining them on a B-licence. Because he spent time in HC Lugano's youth department, he does not count against the import limit despite being Latvian.

So far this season, Veckaktins has suited up 36 times in the National League, recording two assists. He is likely to make his first appearance for Sierre the coming week, wearing number 67.
