    The visitors for this first CHL-game in Fribourg 2016/2017 is Red Bull Munich, the side who finished on the top spot of DEL last season and qualified with this result for the new CHL tournament. There are several interesting players in this team also, for example Captain Michael Wolf, Yannic Seidenberg or Keith Aucoin.
     
    The home side, which was beaten last year in the quarter-finals of the NLA-Playoffs has made some interesting changes to their rooster, actually by signing the Czech attacker on Topscorer Roman Cervenka, swedisch world cup participant Mattia Ritola and Anton Gustafsson, who played a decent season with the Langnau Tigers last season.
     
    Welcome to Fribourg... In about one hour the game between Fribourg-Gottéron and Red Bull Munich will start. Until now the swiss sides playing in this CHL-campaign have won all of their 6 matches (with wins for Bern 2, Zurich, Zug, Davos and Lugano).
