Launched into the deep end by Pat Emond and author of a very convincing first weekend with Fribourg-Gottéron at the beginning of December, Loïc Galley is back at the BCF Arena as second goalkeeper “until further notice”, explains this Wednesday the Spengler Cup winning club.
At 22, the Fribourgeois replaced Reto Berra (illness) to make his debut in the National League on December 7 in Bern (4-3 victory). The next day, he completely celebrated a shutout against Ajoie (5-0) by making 25 saves. “I don’t know yet what my future holds, but once you get a taste of the National League, you want to stay there,” he said at the time.
Despite the arrival of new coach Lars Leuenberger three days before Christmas, the young goalkeeper once again replaced Reto Berra, who was rested on December 27 during the victory against the Finns from Kärpät Oulu in the Spengler Cup.
Brilliant with Thurgovie, Gottéron’s partner club, in the Swiss League this season (19 matches), Loïc Galley may well never return there. Bryan Rüegger is going the opposite way and will now defend the colors of the German-speaking club.
