The beginning was successful. SCB took ten points from the first five games. It’s also worth learning from a mistake the previous year. They decided not to sign a foreigner at that time, although three of them were starting: DiDomenico (suspended), Kahun and Gélinas (both injured).
This time they reacted immediately when it was clear that Colton Sceviour and Corban Knight would miss the start due to injuries and signed Joona Luoto (25) a day before the start. The Finn, who spent last season in the Columbus Blue Jackets organization, mainly in the AHL with Cleveland, was given a try-out contract until mid-November.
And the 1.90 meter tall striker became the “Luoto six”. Thanks to six goals in five games, he should hit the jackpot. SCB has no choice but to exercise the option in his contract and keep him until the end of the season. “If he continues like this, there won’t be much discussion about it,” says sports director Andrew Ebbett (40) with a smile. Eight foreigners should also fit into the budget.
The reserve foreigner model is likely to set a precedent in the league. Knight (this week) and Sceviour (probably next week) will also be available soon. “There will always be injuries. With the increase from four to six foreigners, the chance that foreigners will be absent has also increased,” says Ebbett. The Bernese can also use six outfield players and gives goalkeeper Adam Reideborn a break every now and then. Philip Wüthrich (shutout against the SCL Tigers) showed that he was ready, according to Ebbett.
If Luoto – which would be a bit much to ask – were to maintain his scoring rate, he would score 62 goals this season and surpass the NL record set by Lugano legend Kent Johansson from the 1984/85 season (57 goals). “The goals are a bonus,” says Ebbett. More importantly, the Finn sets a good example and shows his teammates how new coach Jussi Tapola (49) wants to play. “Luoto is constantly moving his feet.”
Luoto, who stayed fit at his parent club, knows the successful coach and his temper from their time together at Tappara. Under him, he broke through as a 19-year-old and played a key role in the team from Tampere’s 2022 championship title as play-off MVP.
