Seven NLB-teams apply for a promotion to the National League A

As the SIHF informs, seven of the twelve teams from the National League B have handed in their application for a possible promotion to the National League A next season at due date.

The seven teams who would like to get promoted to the highest league in Switzerland - in case they qualify for it on the ice - are the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers, EHC Olten, SC Langenthal, HC Red Ice, EHC Visp, HC Ajoie, and HC La Chaux-de-Fonds. The licensing commission of the SIHF will now assess the applications.

Not applied for a promotion have Hockey Thurgau, EHC Winterthur and, of course, the HCB Ticino Rockets, the GCK Lions, and the EVZ Academy. (tme)
