Pasche from Lausanne HC is the goalie with the most shutouts and the most wins in the National League. After Reto Berra, he has the second-highest statistical value in this category with 2051 minutes played. At almost 22 years of age, Pasche is the second youngest player in the Swiss lineup after Nicolas Baechler. The 26-year-old Rohrbach is the SCL Tigers' third-best scorer. He has scored 24 points in 41 games so far.

Luca Fazzini is also in the squad for the third tournament of the Euro Hockey Tour. With 19 goals - currently the best tally of any Swiss player in the National League - the 29-year-old from HC Lugano has recommended himself for his first call-up in three years.

Jan Cadieux, who was head coach at Genève-Servette until the end of the year, and Luca Gianinazzi, who was on the sidelines in Lugano until recently, will join the coaching staff as assistant coaches for the upcoming move.

On Thursday, February 6, Switzerland will face Finland in Langnau. The other games will take place in Stockholm, first on Saturday against the hosts Sweden, then on Sunday against the Czech Republic.
