IHM Discussion
If the reported extensions are confirmed, Jacob de la Rose and Marcus Sörensen would remain at HC Fribourg-Gottéron through 2029. Both have played for the Dragons since 2022 and were important to the club’s run to the championship title last season.
Several SHL clubs reportedly tried to bring the pair back to Sweden, adding context to Fribourg’s effort to retain players connected to last season’s success. With no club confirmation yet, however, the situation remains unconfirmed.
Why It Matters
If confirmed, the renewals would give Fribourg continuity after last season’s championship run by retaining two players who contributed to it. The reported deals would also keep de la Rose and Sörensen in the National League despite interest from SHL clubs. Until the club confirms the extensions, though, the move remains unconfirmed.
