CEO Florian Kohler has decided to leave Swiss Ice Hockey

"After my sixth season it's time for something new," Kohler says in a press release. "I can hand over the operations to a well-functioning sports organisation, the major sponsoring contracts have been extended and the office is in an excellent position thanks to our great employees and the well staffed management."

In Kohler's term, Swiss Ice Hockey has experienced a quantum leap economically, the release further states. A number of new major partners were acquired and the federation entered a new dimension in the field of media rights.
