The 32-year-old joined the Valais in November of 2015 and initially signed a one-month contract. He then had the opportunity to stay in Visp until the end of the season and managed to score 61 points (18 goals and 43 assists) in 36 NLB games.

Locke has already played in several countries and leagues over the course of his career. However, this will be his first time playing in the EBEL. From 2004 to 2012 and during the 2013-14 season, he played 705 games for several teams of the AHL. (bsc)
