First, the bad news for our French friends: even Geneva, the 2023 Swiss champions, is not really a “French” club. When I arrived in Geneva as a player in 2001, the first Geneva player, Alain Reymond, made me understand that Geneva, with its international flavor, is not a city in French-speaking Switzerland, that Geneva is a special case. “We don’t see ourselves as part of Romandy.”
But this is hair splitting. Of course, Geneva is by no means a German-Swiss club, Geneva is undoubtedly a representative of French-speaking Switzerland, and not only geographically, but what nuances French-speaking French people add to their self-image, please clarify among them.
Thus, Servette is the first champion from western Switzerland since 1973 and the HC La Chaux-de-Fonds dynasty. A masterpiece for which Chris McSorley did the preparatory work as sole ruler for almost 20 years, but which was ultimately completed by the more cold-blooded ones: sporting director Marc Gauci and coach Jan Kadier.
And, of course, a very dominant, although not exactly cheap team. Tömmernes, Filppula, Omark, Richard or Hartikainen are in Geneva not only because of the postcard landscape with Mont Blanc in the background. Gauci and Kadier have managed to turn good players into a team that is more than the sum of its parts. A group with an international flair from a city with an international flair.
