The 27-year-old Austrian is in possession of a Swiss players' license and would thus not count against the import player contingent. The centerman is an Austrian national team player and is currently in his fourth season with EHC Linz of the EBEL.
Hofer, who is only 1,70 m tall, was among the best ten point-getters of the 2017-18 regular season, recording 21 goals and 34 assists in 54 games for Linz. Zaugg also writes that "it is becoming more and more apparent that the ZSC Lions" will "deport" Inti Pestoni to Ambrì - despite a valid contract until the end of the 2018-19 season.
