• Sixteen of the 23 players play in the Swiss National League A, followed by the NHL (2), AHL (2), Russia (1), Sweden (1) and the WHL (1).
• Two Canadian-born players are not part of the team. Paul DiPietro and Ryan Gardner were not included, but there?s a new Canadian-born player. Hnat Domenichelli is the only roster player that is not Swiss-trained.
• Eighteen players were on the team that represented Switzerland at the 2009 Worlds on home ice in Berne, while 10 players participated in the 2006 Olympics.
