His new contract allows Reuille to play for the HCB Ticino Rockets in the Swiss League as well. The 36-year-old just finished his eleventh season with Lugano and almost won his second championship title with the Bianconeri after already hoisting the trophy in 2005-2006, but they lost the all-deciding Game 7 of the playoff finals.

In those eleven seasons, Reuille recorded 85 goals and 86 assists for his team. Besides that, he also played for the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers (2001-2004 and 2007-2010) and EHC Kloten. With the latter, he made his NLA-debut during the 1998-1999 season. In total, the forward suited up 995 times in Switzerland's top league, recording 177 goals and 195 assists.

Reuille is also going to take over as Head of Sport and Management for the HCB Ticino Rockets.
