These two "prospect games" against Germany will take place in Memmingen and Bietigheim on February 5 and 6, respectively (puck-drop at 7.30 pm). Four forwards and nine defenders from the 23-man roster are set make their debut in the jersey of the Swiss national team A.

"Thanks to the prospect games, our best players aged 19 to 25 will once again get the opportunity to show themselves and compete with the best of their age group. I'm very excited in particular to see how well the newcomers will do at the highest international level and look forward to working with them to further deepen the system of the national team," Patrick Fischer explains.
