Rather than creating offense, the two forwards with defensive abilities are supposed to help stabilize the SCL Tigers defense. In their current teams, Neuenschwander and Aeschlimann have played but minor roles.
Whereas Jan Neuenschwander, 29, was on the ice for a bit less than ten minutes per game in 46 games with SC Bern, 26-year-old Marc Aeschlimann only averaged 4:45 minutes in 38 games for the ZSC Lions and also played 31 games with the GCK Lions.
