Despite recently celebrating his 39th birthday, the forward will add another season to his career.

Thibaut Monnet - old but gold (at least for Sierre's last playoff game)

HC Sierre's season was terminated by EHC Olten's Dion Knelsen nine minutes into the second overtime of the fourth game of the quarterfinal series between the two teams. The end of Thibaut Monnet's career, after 24 years? No, as it seems - he will add at least another one. "I still have so much fun. That is what counts", the forward tells Le Nouvelliste.

For the fourth game of the series against Olten, Monnet got to wear the topscorer's dress, having recorded two goals in the previous three games. "To be honest, I was not expecting this jersey. I had forgotten that in the play-offs the scoreboard was reset. It was cool, that is true."

Throughout the regular season, the veteran put up ten goals and 19 assists in 44 appearances.
