"It may be frustrating not to be able to announce big names like other clubs, but we can't go crazy," says Olivier Calame, the president of HC La Chaux-de-Fonds, to Arcinfo. "We have to manage our budget as closely as possible in light of the current situation" continues the banker.
The president of the club then adds that if they would manage to fill their ice rink at each game (2500 spectators expected at the most), they could consider a new signing, however, for the moment, they trust the team in place.
Regarding the roster, yesterday the club announced the loan of defenseman Yanick Stampfli from EHC Biel, while Arcinfo reports today that HCC could not secure the services of forward Mattia Hinterkircher, who had been practicing with them for a while now.
