Etienne Froidevaux made the decision in the fall to end his career after this season. The striker from Biel sees it as a great gift that the conclusion now takes place in the spectacular context of a playoff final, which after 2010 (with his regular club SC Bern) gives him the chance to win the title a second time. “If you’ve ever been a champion, you chase this feeling and you really want to experience it again,” says the 34-year-old.
Resign with the title. Two greats have succeeded in this in the recent past. Mathias Seger (45) in 2018 with the ZSC Lions and Reto von Arx (46) in 2015 with Davos. Will Froidevaux follow them now? “I would never put myself on the same level as those two. These are legends of Swiss hockey, I have no business there. But of course it would be nice for me if I could stop like her,” says Froidevaux.
Start study in September
The 39-time national player and one-time World Cup participant (2014 in Minsk) already has clear plans for his future. In September he will start his four-year training as senior lecturer at the Universität der Pedagogiek in Bern. “I’ve always wanted to do this and now is a good time to do it. My expectations are high,” says Froidevaux.
He also thinks that the 15 years as an ice hockey professional will certainly help him in his second career: “A wardrobe is certainly not comparable to a classroom, but there are also situations where I get on very well with the young people. identify. I certainly want to pass on my experiences.” Froidevaux wants to teach French, English, physical education and history. And since the teacher shortage is currently a big problem, he should soon come to the first internships for school classes.
But before telling them about history, he wants to make history himself and help lead EHC Biel to its first championship title in 40 years: “Being in the finals is great for us as an organization. We are now reaping the benefits of the good work that has been done in recent years.”
