Christoph Bertschy (born 5 April 1994) is a Swiss professional ice hockey center currently playing for HC Fribourg-Gottéron of the National League (NL). He was drafted 158th overall by the Minnesota Wild in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
[edit]Bertschy previously played professionally with SC Bern of Switzerland's National League A.[1] On 26 April 2015, Bertschy was signed to a three-year entry-level contract with the Minnesota Wild.[2]
With his development stalling within the Wild organization, on 8 February 2018, he was traded alongside Mario Lucia to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for Viktor Lööv.[3] He was immediately reassigned to continue with the Binghamton Devils of the AHL.
On 27 April 2018, as a pending restricted free agent with the Devils and unable to cement a role in the NHL, Bertschy opted to return to Switzerland by signing a four-year contract with Lausanne HC of the National League.[4]
