The 33-year-old forward officially retired from professional hockey in mid-July. He seems, however, still want to play, albeit on a different level.

Citing inside sources, Elite Prospects reports that Elias Bianchi will suit up for GDT Bellinzona this season. He will thus take on the challenge of playing in the first league.

Bianchi announced his retirement on his personal Instagram last month. The forward has played 530 games for HC Ambrì-Piotta throughout his career. This past season, the forward recorded four goals and four assists in 52 regular-season games for them.
