The Swiss are taking matters into their own hands

National coach Patrick Fischer may not have liked that very much: no Swiss player was invited to the PostFinance top scorers event in Bern after the end of the regular season, the 14 top scorers of the 14 clubs were all foreigners.

And a look at the entire list of scorer points was also difficult to read from a Swiss point of view. Tyler Moy, who scored 51 points with the SCRJ Lakers (24 goals, 27 assists) in fourth place, outscores everyone. But in the top 30 are only Zug’s Lino Martschini (14th, 18 goals/25 assists), the Ambri striker Dario Bürgler (20th, 14 goals/28 assists) and Inti Pestoni (23rd, 13 goals/29 assists) and Davos magician Enzo Corvi (25th, 7 goals/33 assists). The new rule that six foreigners per team may be used this season had immediate consequences.

Playoff attraction Thürkauf

Fortunately, things suddenly look different in the playoffs. The Swiss took matters into their own hands. On Tuesday and Wednesday, five of the eight Swiss clubs will wear the top scorer’s jersey: Calvin Thürkauf (Lugano, 1 goal/4 assists), Dean Kukan (ZSC Lions, 2 goals, 1 assist), Lino Martschini (Zug, 2 goals, 1 assist ), Jeremy Wick (SCRJ Lakers, 2 goals, 1 assist) and Marc Wieser (Davos, 2 goals/0 assists).

In addition, Thürkauf is the current top scorer of the playoffs and the Swiss Kukan, Roger Karrer (Servette, 2 goals, 1 assist), Martschini, Wick, Chris Baltisberger (ZSC Lions, 1 goal, 2 assists) and Tobias Geisser (Zug , 1 goal, 2 assists) seven players in the top 15. It’s a snapshot, but a positive trend: when it comes to the sausage, the Swiss are there. Patrick Fischer will like that too.
