The team of head coach Michel Zeiter will have a good look at the three players in the upcoming weeks during their pre-season campaign. They will then decide if they want them to be reinforcements for their Swiss league team.

23-year-old Jari Allevi has already some Swiss League experience (GCK Lions, HC La Chaux-de-Fonds) and most recently played for the Pensacola Ice Flyers in the American SPHL. Orlando Scherz, 23, returns from the USA for his tryout: He suited up for the Minnesota Blue Ox (USPHL) last season.

Defenseman Silvio Schmutz, 22, on the other hand, has been part of HC Davos lately and is a former Swiss U20-international. For HCD, he suited up eight times in the National League (no points).
