The puck is set to drop on the 2023 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship in a little over 36 hours and rosters needed to be finalized at 5 p.m. ET on Saturday.

Just before the deadline, Switzerland released their final roster for the upcoming tournament. Among the notable names on their roster are Dallas Stars 2022 first-round pick Lian Bichsel and Philadelphia Flyers prospect Brian Zanetti.
Let's take a look at Switzerland's final 25-man roster. Normally, the IIHF only allows 23-man rosters, but this year, 25 players are allowed to be registered in case of injury or illness, etc.
