Biber, a 19‑year‑old blue‑liner selected 98th overall in the 2024 NHL Draft, spent the 2025‑26 campaign with Rögle BK in the Swedish Hockey League, posting two points, a goal and an assist, while logging 12 penalty minutes across 38 appearances. He has also earned caps with Austria at three consecutive IIHF Division 1A World Junior Championships and two senior World Championship tournaments.
Borikov, a 20‑year‑old forward drafted 110th overall in 2025, erupted in the Kontinental Hockey League with Dinamo Minsk, tallying 30 points (16 goals, 14 assists) in 59 games during the 2025‑26 season. His seven playoff goals in the 2025 Gagarin Cup run matched Evgeny Kuznetsov’s league record for a player under 21, underscoring his clutch pedigree.
Both signings add depth to a blue line that has been seeking fresh talent and a forward group looking to complement its veteran core. With Biber’s defensive reliability and Borikov’s offensive spark, the Mammoth hope to translate youthful energy into a competitive edge as they aim for a deeper playoff run.
