Bruins Secure Swiss Forward Attilio Biasca on Two‑Year Deal

A strategic addition that blends European experience with Boston’s championship aspirations

The Boston Bruins announced today that they have inked Swiss forward Attilio Biasca to a two‑year agreement, securing the 23‑year‑old through the 2027‑28 season.

A Calculated Investment

The deal carries an average annual cap hit of $980,000, a figure that fits comfortably within the team’s budgetary constraints while adding a proven scorer to the roster.

Biasca spent the 2025‑26 campaign with HC Fribourg‑Gottéron, where he recorded 15 goals and 12 assists in 45 appearances, helping the club capture the Swiss League championship.

His offensive résumé also includes two productive seasons with EV Zug, where he posted 30 goals and 22 assists, and a three‑year stint with the Halifax Mooseheads of the QMJHL that yielded 37 goals and 44 assists.

International Impact

On the international stage, Biasca contributed a goal and two assists for Switzerland at the 2026 IIHF World Championship, a tournament in which the Swiss side earned a silver medal.

He has also represented his country at three IIHF World Junior Championships and the 2021 IIHF U18 World Championship, underscoring his status as a mainstay in Swiss hockey.

General manager Don Sweeney praised the signing, noting that Biasca’s blend of size, work ethic, and offensive versatility aligns with the Bruins’ long‑term vision.

The move also strengthens Boston’s ties to the European talent pool, a pipeline that has yielded players like David Pastrňák and Brad Marchand over the years.
