New tasks for the Lakers' Roger Maier as of next season

Maier has been overseeing the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers' sports commission since they were relegated to the Swiss League. He will stay in his position until the end of the current season and will take on his new tasks as of the 2019-20 season.

The Lakers have six more games to play in the placement round and will then face HC Davos in the playout final. Depending on the outcome of the best-of-7 series, they might also have to play in the League Qualification.
