Montandon was originally supposed to play for EHC Arosa this season, but the MyHockey League team already announced in May that the defenseman had been approached by the Bellinzona Rockets and that they had thus decided to let him out of his contract.
As for Stephan Deluca, the 23-year-old Italian, who is in possession of a Swiss players' license, already suited up for the Ticino Rockets back in the 2020-21 season. He spent the past two seasons in the Alps Hockey League. He recorded 13 goals and 17 assists in 36 regular-season games for Fassa last season.
