History
2006-07: Berra split time between Swiss “A” League side ZSC Lions and “B” League squad GCZ. He spent a lot of time as the back-up for the two teams, appearing in six games with GCZ and two with ZSC. Berra received some unexpected playing time in the playoffs, when ZSC’s starting goaltender was injured. His play was respectable, but he couldn’t quite manage a needed victory. The highlight of Berra’s season may have been the World Juniors. He compiled a worth .899 save percentage on an often out-matched Swiss team.
Talent Analysis
At 6’3”, 190 lbs, Berra has a big-frame, yet is remarkably flexible for his size, and seems just as comfortable making saves while on his back as he is in normal situations. He also exhibits excellent poise for a young goaltender, and never seems to be shaken, no matter what the situation.
Future
Berra has moved to well-known Swiss club HC Davos for 2007-08. He is expected to receive more playing time than previously. The timetable for him coming over to North America is still quite uncertain.
