"With Francesco Gärtner, we have succeeded in signing an absolute top defender," EHC Seewen's team manager Mike Arnold says. "He has what it takes to become one of the top defenders in the league."
This season, Gärtner played for the HCB Ticino Rockets in the Swiss League and for EHC Arosa in the MyHockey League (two assists in 21 games). In his career, he also suited up for HC Davos nine times.
