Rumor

RUMOR - The SCL Tigers and their team manager Jörg Reber are currently busy building their roster for the next NLA season. According to the Berner Zeitung, the Lakers' Ivars Punnenovs and Nils Berger will be part of that squad.

The 20-year-old goaltender Ivars Punnenovs has been in the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers' organisation since 2012 and has completed 36 NLA games during his stint with the Lakers. If the rumors are indeed true, he would form a new goalie duo with Damiano Ciaccio, since Jonas Müller, who was on loan from the Kloten Flyers, will definitely leave the Tigers.

As for Nils Berger, he had only recently signed a contract extension with the Lakers, a deal that was, like many others, supposedly voided with the club's relegation. The 24-year-old forward is a product of Rapperswil's organisation and has appeared in 216 games for them, scoring 17 goals and 22 assists. (mso)

UPDATE The SCL Tigers confirm the signings of Ivars Punnenovs and Nils Berger. Both have agreed to two-year contracts and will thus stay until the end of the 2016-17 season. - 15 April 2015, 9:32 PM
