Sven Leuenberger and Martin Steinegger were teammates at SC Bern for eight years. Today they lead two title contenders, the ZSC Lions and EHC Biel, who will face each other in the play-off semifinals starting Thursday.
Long-time companions: Today’s ZSC sports director Sven Leuenberger (left) and Martin Steinegger. Here, in October 2005, Leuenberger coached SCB and team captain Steinegger for one game due to the absence of coach Alpo Suhonen due to illness.
For a long time, EHC Biel was allowed to win, ZSC had to. Is that different today? After all, Biel has home rights as second in qualifying.
