Two more years in Switzerland for Annika Fazokas. The ice hockey player has extended her contract with EV Zug in time for the play-offs starting on Saturday. 

Head coach Daniela Diaz describes Annika Fazokas as a "strong pillar in the defense". The ice hockey export therefore rightly extended her contract with top Swiss club EV Zug by two years until 2027. In addition to the Zell native, Nadine Hofstetter and forward Noemi Ryhner also extended their contracts. The attacking defender has not only been a regular at EVZ for two years, but is also one of the top performers in the Austrian national team. In the current season, the right-shooter has scored seven goals and provided 17 assists in 22 regular-season games in the PostFinance Women's League. This makes her the second most productive defender in the league.

Noemi Ryhner, Annika Fazokas and Nadine Hofstetter will start the playoffs with the EVZ Women's Team in eight days. Thanks to second place in the regular season, the Zug women have secured direct qualification for the semi-finals. Who they will face in the best-of-five series starting on Saturday, March 8, will be decided in the play-in between HC Davos and Fribourg Gottéron as well as HC Ambrì-Piotta and the ZSC Lions.
