Austrian goaltender Stefan Müller and defenseman Colin Fontana, both born in 1996, will play their second season in Biasca. Last season, Müller played 27 games for the Rockets, posting a .881 save percentage; Fontana appeared in only five games for Biasca because he sustained a severe ankle injury in October.

19-year-old defenseman Aronne Pagnamenta, who suited up in one game for the Rockets last term, 20-year-old forward Emil Canonica, and forward Loic Vedova, 19, on the other hand, will play their first season in the NLB. All three players suited up for the Bianconeri's Elite A team last year.
