Swiss National Team

As the Neue Zürcher Zeitung reports, the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation has issued an offer to Patrick Fischer for a two-year contract extension. The Director of the National Teams Raeto Raffainer is, however, not yet ready to confirm anything.

"We are in talks with all members of the coaching staff but nothing is definitive," Raffainer states. Fischer has been Switzerland's head coach since December 2015 and has coached the team through two World Championships.

Furthermore, U20 head coach Christian Wohlwend is supposedly also staying. The 40-year-old has served as head coach of the U20 since the 2016-17 season when he replaced John Fust.
