Alex Reinhard to be replaced as head coach of HC La Chaux-de-Fonds?

As Rohrbach reported, Alex Reinhard, who has been leading the team as head coach since the 2013-14 season, might step down and make room for a suitable successor. Alain Dubois, on the other hand, told Arcinfo later on Monday: "For now, Alex Reinhard is confirmed in his duties."

While they will evaluate the season, they have no intention to turn everything upside down. They will have meetings with all involved parties in the upcoming days, but even if some changes should occur concerning the first team, Alex Reinhard will - in all likeliness - remain their head coach.

Reinhard himself has told Arcinfo that he intends to honor his contract (valid until the end of the 2017-18 season). HC La Chaux-de-Fonds finished this year's regular season as runner-up but got then eliminated from the playoffs following a 1-4 series loss to the SCRJ Lakers in the semifinals.

Alex Reinhard pourrait ne pas conduire le HCC la saison prochaine après cette élimination en 1/2 et ceci malgré une belle saison régulière
