Gary Sheehan’s adventure in Olten has come to an end. The Solothurn club announced the dismissal of the Canadian-Swiss and the commitment of Christian Wohlwend, who is rebounding after his dismissal at HC Ajoie.
Sheehan is paying for his team’s poor results since the start of the season. In 17 games, the Souris have only won 7 matches, and conceded 10 defeats. Stuck at the bottom of the ranking, the Solothurns are 16 points behind the leading duo made up of La Chaux-de-Fonds and Basel.
Gary Sheehan took over as head coach in January after spending a few months as assistant to Lars Leuenberger. He led the Souris to the semi-finals of the playoffs (4-3 defeat against the GCK Lions).
Olten withdraws his file for promotion to NL
Christian Wohlwend did not spend much time before finding a position on the squad of a Swiss team. He was dismissed on October 21 by Ajoie after a very complicated start to the season.
Olten also informs that he has withdrawn his application for promotion to the National League. This means that only La Chaux-de-Fonds, Visp and Sierre are still contenders for promotion to the elite of Swiss hockey.
