For this reason, the SCL Tigers have decided to not extend Flückiger's contract anymore. In the middle of August, the 28-year-old ex-defender of the EHC Basel Sharks had received a try-out opportunity with the SCL Tigers and was finally signed to a temporary contract until the end of October.
However, Flückiger will pass his rehabilitation and advanced training within the SCL Tigers organization. What happens afterwards remains to be seen.
