As anticipated by the St.Galler Tagblatt, Lars Neher (photo) signs a two-year contract with the Lions and will thus leave EHC Visp after two years. Alain Bahar and Andri Spiller, for their part, both extended their contract for another year.

David Wildhaber and Loris Müller, who were part of the extended roster this past season, will now be properly integrated into the team. Wildhaber has signed a two-year deal, Müller, on the other hand, will stay until the end of the 2017-18 season.

Furthermore, they have agreed to terms with EV Zug's Elite A goalie, Tim Bertsche. The netminder already played for Hockey Thurgau in the 2011-12 season. The 18-year-old goaltender has agreed on a two-year contract and will also play for the Lions' Elite B team.

As for assistant coach Benjamin Winkler, the Lions have an oral agreement in place with the former defenseman. His contract for the upcoming season will likely be signed next week.
