HCC integrates two young forwards in their roster

Yoann Imesch, 21, is a product of Genève-Servette HC, for which he debuted in the National League this past season. The young forward, who is described as a hard worker and a leader, has signed a one-year contract with HC La Chaux-de-Fonds.

In addition to Imesch, HCC also adds Loan Burkhalter, son of team manager Loïc Burkhalter. The 16-year-old forward spent the majority of this past season with their U20 squad but was also already part of the main team on a few occasions. "He's a young player with a good feel for the game. We're expecting him to turn a corner physically. He still has a lot of room for improvement and development," states the team manager.

Imesch collected 27 points in 33 games with GSHC's U20 squad, while Burkhalter recorded 32 points in 26 games with HCC's U20 squad.
