Those three players, which were all part of HC Lugano's youth programme at one point in their career, played for HC Biasca last season. Defenseman Luca Gianiazzi, 22, and forward Tommaso Goi, 26, have played in the NLB before. For the 21-year-old defenseman Sacha Tosques, on the other hand, this will be hist first season playing for a National League team.
Moreover, according to the same source, the Rockets have confirmed the arrival of EHC Visp's defenseman Maxime Montandon. La Regione reported earlier in July that the 22-year-old would join the Rockets. He has signed a one-year contract, too. (bsc)
