Regio League

As EHC Basel/KLH announces, Joel Fröhlicher will join the first league team with immediate effect. He has signed a contract valid until the end of the 2017-18 season.

The 34-year-old defenseman had parted ways with SC Langenthal in September, as he no longer was content with the role he was given within the organisation. Be that as it may, his new team manager, Olivier Schäublin, is definitely counting on him as an important "cornerstone of our team".

Fröhlicher appeared in 148 games for SC Langenthal, scoring 15 goals and 45 assists. Before the contract with Langenthal was dissolved, he managed to score one goal in the five games he played for them this season.
