With the three players, Fischer has cut one player from each department: With Joren Van Pottelberghe (EHC Biel), he sends home a goaltender, and with Samuel Kreis (EHC Biel) and Inti Pestoni (SC Bern) a defenseman and a forward. All three will thus not travel to Riga with the national team.
Two days ago, five additional players have been called up, who recently have dropped out of the playoffs: goalie Melvin Nyffeler, defenders Christian Marti, Dominik Egli, and Mirco Müller, as well as forward Sven Andrighetto.
