Raffl with Lausanne in the final against Rohrer

The final of the Swiss Ice Hockey Championship will see an Austrian duel between veteran Michael Raffl (35) and youngster Vinzenz Rohrer (19). Raffl made it to the final for the first time in the club's history on Wednesday with HC Lausanne by beating Fribourg-Gottéron 4-2; the Carinthian's team won the semi-final series 4-1.

Rohrer from Vorarlberg had previously reached the final of the National League with his club ZSC Lions.

The club from Zurich won the "best of seven" semi-final series against EV Zug 4-0. Raffl did not score on Wednesday, but the international has four goals and three assists after eleven play-off games, making him one of his club's top scorers. The first final game will take place next Tuesday in Zurich.
