Ciaccio is currently mostly serving as backup in Langnau behind the Lativan Ivars Punnenovs. He has played twelve National League games this season, posting a .901 save percentage along with a 2.87 goals against average. He already was with La Chaux-de-Fonds from the 2011-2012 season until 2014, when he joined the Tigers. The current goalkeeper for the Swiss League team, Tim Wolf, has a contract until the end of the 2018-2019 season.

HCC is also said to be among the teams interested in Servette's Auguste Impose. The forward's contract is running out at the end of the season. He spent his early junior years in La-Chaux-de-Fonds and joined GSHC in 2011. After playing ten games for Geneva at the start of this season, he has been with HC Ajoie on a B-license since mid-November.

The president of HCC, Alain Dubois, does not want to confirm these rumors.
