Transfer news from South Tyrol: Keeper Christopher Gibson’s contract, which would have expired at the beginning of February, will be extended. Managing director and sports director Dieter Knoll also confirmed this in an interview with “Sportnews.bz”.
“We will extend the contract with Gibson – purely as security,” explained Knoll. However, this does not change the hierarchy in goal: Samuel Harvey remains the undisputed number 1 for the Bolzano team. With the recovered Gianluca Vallini, the HCB has three strong goalkeepers – a luxury that could prove to be crucial, especially in the tight final stretch of the championship.
But the future remains open for Gibson. “Gibson can leave until the transfer deadline if he gets an offer from the DEL,” said Knoll. The former NHL goalie (New York Islanders and Tampa Bay Lightning) has played four games for the Foxes to date. However, the catch rate of only 87.9% leaves room for improvement.
