This afternoon in Bern, the interim CEO at PostFinance, Kurt Fuchs, delivered the symbolic cheques to the Top Scorers from the two highest Swiss ice hockey leagues. This year, PostFinance will support young Swiss ice hockey players with one-third of a million francs. Each point recorded by a Top Scorer equaled 300 francs.
For the first time, the best point-getters in both the National League and the PostFinance Women’s League were honored, reflecting PostFinance's commitment to equality: "This is an important step towards professionalizing women’s ice hockey in Switzerland and promoting up-and-coming talent" states Fuchs.
Estelle Duvin (SC Bern Frauen, 67 points) and Marcus Sörensen (HC Fribourg-Gottéron, 63 points) collected the most points for their teams during the regular season. Altogether, the 22 Top Scorers earned CHF 336'600.- during this regular season. The sum collected by each Top Scorer will go entirely towards the youth sector of each respective club.
