Switzerland will enter the Sochi Olympics with a heavy non-NHL look. Seventeen players come from outside of the NHL, including team captain Mathias Seger, a defenseman out of ZSC Lions Zurich.
Anaheim Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller and Calgary Flames netminder Reto Berra will backstop the Swiss while the blue line is anchored by NHLers Rafael Diaz of the Montreal Canadiens, Roman Josi of the Nashville Predators, Mark Streit from the Philadelphia Flyers and Yannick Weber of the Vancouver Canucks.
Damien Brunner of the New Jersey Devils and Nino Niederreiter of the Minnesota Wild are the only two NHLers at forward. Sven Baertschi of the Calgary Flames did not make the squad.
