With the defenseman (Mini) and the three forwards, HC Lugano keeps four members of their U20 squad on board. Bedolla, Cortiana and Zanetti all have already either played for the main squad or then for the HCB Ticino Rockets, although just on rare occasions.
Part of the intention for the youngsters (three 19-year-olds and Zanetti, who is 20) is to occasionally get chances to play in the National or Swiss League.
