Seven imports to start the season for Ajoie

"The next HCA will look a lot like this one", HC Ajoie's team manager Julien Vauclair is cited by the "Quotidien Jurassien" (relayed by "SwissHabs"). "There are still a couple of things to sort out. As for the arrivals, players have been signed. They will be announced at the appropriate time."

Some extensions should be finalized soon; players like Kevin Bozon, Thibault Frossard, and Bastien Pouilly are expected to stay. Reto Schmutz staying on board would be appreciated by the locker room, as the "Quotidien" notes.

On the import front, Ajoie is planning on starting the season with seven imports. Five are already signed, while Pierre-Edourad Bellemare's future is still undecided. "We would like to keep him, but it is up to him", Vauclair comments. The French forward has been rumored to return to Sweden, where he spent eight years of his career before heading overseas.
