EHC Basel signs Elvis Schläpfer, extends contract with Dario Kummer

Elvis Schläpfer is now fully under contract with EHC Basel. The 25-year-old, who was suiting up for HC Ajoie last season, already appeared in 43 games (19 points) for EHC Basel last season, albeit via B-license. His new contract is valid until 2029.

"His versatility, his physical presence, and his ability to perform in key game situations—especially at faceoffs —make him a key player for our team,” says Kevin Schläpfer, team manager EHC Basel. 

Another player will also stay with EHC Basel until 2029: Dario Kummer has extended his contract. The 31-year-old has been with the Swiss League team since 2023.

“Dario is a player we can count on in any situation. He reads the game exceptionally well, takes charge, and gives our team a lot of confidence with his experience and composure,” says Schläpfer. Kummer played in 39 games last season and recorded 33 points (eleven goals).
