Liniger to remain with ehc basel

Liniger’s contract renewal comes after a season where he contributed 13 points (5 goals, 8 assists) in 39 games. His time with Basel has included his first foray into the National League, playing for SC Bern during the 2024/25 season.

The club’s season concluded prematurely in April after being eliminated in the quarter-finals by EHC Visp. This extension signals a continued belief in Liniger's potential and value to the team’s future aspirations. The team's focus now shifts to building on this foundation for the upcoming season.

EHC Basel’s early exit from the playoffs underscores the competitive nature of the league. Liniger’s role will be vital as the team seeks to regain its position as a contender.

The signing reflects a commitment to retaining promising talent within the organization, providing stability and experience as they aim for sustained success. Liniger’s dedication and on-ice performance have clearly earned him this renewed confidence.
