Van Guilder joined Visp last year from the Stavanger Oilers (Norwegian Get Ligaen) together with Dan Kissel. The two US-American forwards will both add another season in Switzerland. In 51 Swiss League games during the past term (including playoffs), 34-year-old Van Guilder recorded 22 goals and 24 assists

Brügger, 26, suited up 31 times for EHC Basel in the MySportsLeague last season, recording eight goals and 15 assists. The forward brings the experience of six years in the NLA and NLB with HC Fribourg-Gottéron, HC La Chaux-de-Fonds and Martigny Red Ice.

Defenseman Haueter has mostly played junior hockey so far (for HC Davos and EHC Chur). However, the 20-year-old also suited up 16 times for EHC Arosa last season. He joins Visp on a one-year deal.
