Nash Nienhuis has quickly found his feet in Salzburg after starting his professional career last summer after graduating from college at Michigan State University. The 25-year-old Canadian, who also holds American and Austrian citizenship, has quickly adapted to the larger European ice surface and the level of play in the win2day ICE Hockey League. In 54 games including the playoffs, he scored four goals and 17 assists.

Tyler Lewington is a tough defenceman who stands up for his team on the ice like no other and can also take a beating. He has finished each of his three seasons with the Red Bulls as champion of the win2day ICE Hockey League. The 30-year-old Canadian blocks a lot of shots and is a reliable team player: in the last campaign, which was also his best, he played 59 of 61 games including the playoffs and scored six goals - he scored three goals in the post-season alone - and had twelve assists.
