Renowned for his defensive and physical play, the 32-year-old returns to the Club that saw him turn professional 12 years ago. Indeed, Dave Sutter arrived at the AGFH at 15 years old in 2007! Quickly summoned to the junior national teams from U16 to U20, the defender is making a name for himself. In 2010, he decided to cross the Atlantic and enter the OHL junior championship to gain visibility.
Dave Sutter returned to Switzerland and Genève-Servette in 2012 with whom he began his professional career. But it was especially in the Swiss League with Martigny and La Chaux-de-Fonds that he became more experienced. In 2015, he signed with HC Bienne in the National League before joining the ZSC Lions with whom he won a title in 2018. Since 2020, he has been skating under the colors of Fribourg-Gottéron and from next season, he will find the end of the Lake.

Genève-Servette is delighted to welcome Dave Sutter to Les Vernets in the summer of 2025.
Marc Gautschi: “We are happy that Dave, a former junior, is returning to the Club. In recent years, he has established himself as one of the very good defensive defensemen in the country. Despite his size and strong build, he is a good skater! We will greatly benefit from his physical presence on the ice. With his great experience and his leadership, Dave will be an example for our young defenders.
