Why EHC Biel is a Roman club

“Ici c’est Bienne” is the motto of EHC Biel.

I fall in love with it every time. When I come to Biel, I order coffee with my “Deutsch fédéral”. Answer systematically in French. It’s a bit of a shame, but says a lot about Beeler’s difficulty.

One could apologize and say that the city of Biel is bilingual before speaking French or German. But in an era of harsh opinions, sometimes it’s hard to get your voice heard with nuance. Several arguments suggest that the play-off final against Geneva-Servette will be played 100 percent in francophone Switzerland.

“Ici c’est Bienne”

Firstly, the slogan of the club and even the city is “Ici c’est Bienne”, not “Here is Biel”. The two leaders of the association are also from Romandia. Gaetan Haas, captain, and Stephanie Meriya, co-president, will surely order French coffee. Many EHCB fans come from the Bernese Jura. The Jura issue is important in this region. Language? Much less, as most speak French.

However, the most surprising thing for me is that everyone is interested in this debate, except for the inhabitants of Biel. Every time I try to discuss this topic with Zelender, the answer is the same: Biel is bilingual.

In the end, everyone can do whatever they want. I decided many years ago that I would treat Biel like a French club and I will do the same in this final. I’ll also start ordering drinks in French.
