Regarding the Formenton case, Ambri is a very local hockey club

When the American is waiting for something that will inevitably happen, he says, “I’ll wait for the other shoe to drop.” In recent weeks you could wait for the second shoe to drop in the Formenton case. It had been clear for some time that the Ambri-Canadian would appear in court in his home country.

There was no reason to doubt Formenton’s innocence, Ambri said when he was signed in December 2022. Leventina saw the fact that the notoriously unsuccessful Ottawa Senators gratefully relinquished Formenton’s services despite an impressive 2021/2022 season (18 NHL goals) as an opportunity. Of course, immediate action would be taken if it became clear that more would come to light than the sexual abuse allegations that had been hastily disappeared during the first trial with the Canadian association’s millions of dollars, they simply assured.

The surprise was great. Of all people, Ambri. The friendly underdog club from Leventina, which does things slightly differently from the established order, this place of longing for hockey romance, became the new home of Formenton. But who knows, people thought: maybe the Ambri bosses know more than the rest of the hockey world.

So. No. But we now know a little more. The truth is as sobering as it is simple: Ambri is just a hockey club like any other. You risk a lot for little success. And if it has a good reputation. President Filippo Lombardi can defiantly claim the opposite: the picture is in tatters. Formenton is no longer there, the coming months will show what the process will bring. What did he bring Ambri? Twenty goals, a lot of bad press, 10th place in the table, and he leaves a hole: the Leventiners need a replacement in the battle for the play-offs at the crucial stage of the season. That’s what you call karma.
