Romain Loeffel (born March 10, 1991) is a Swiss professional ice hockey defenseman who is currently playing with Genève-Servette HC of the National League (NL). He previously played for HC Fribourg-Gottéron.
Loeffel made his professional debut with HC Fribourg-Gottéron in the 2008-09 National League (NL) season. He appeared in 3 games this season and spent most of the year playing in the Swiss League (SL) with Young-Sprinters HC. He played 36 games in the SL and put up 14 points, including 5 goals. In the 2009-10 NL season, Loeffel became a regular on Fribourg's team, appearing in 37 NL contests that year. He went on to play 4 years with the team in the NL before being traded to Genève-Servette HC on January 31, 2014 for John Fritsche and Jérémie Kamerzin. Loeffel then appeared in only 2 games with Geneva that season, scoring 1 goal.
On October 2, 2014, Loeffel was suspended for 7 games and fined CHF 10,000 for shoving a linesman in a game against Lausanne HC on September 26, 2014. Loeffel was trying to catch up Simon Fischer after a faceoff but bumped into Roger Bürgi, the linesman, and rose his stick to push him out of his way. Bürgi didn't report the incident at the end of the game, considering it as an accident. It was only Reto Steinmann, who was at the head of the referees supervision for the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation at the time, who watched the incident on tape and decided to open a procedure in order to suspend Loeffel. The case was highly mediatized in Switzerland.
On December 2, 2014, Loeffel was signed to a one-year contract extension by Geneva. He went on to score 4 points in 4 Spengler Cup games en route to the title with Geneva.
On December 2, 2015, Loeffel agreed to a two-year contract extension with Genève-Servette. At the end of the 2015–16 NL season, he was named to the NL Media Swiss All-Star Team.
