Rico Gredig is considered one of Switzerland’s most promising talents. “He has a very high level of game intelligence, is a strong skater with a lot of speed, and shows a fine touch when handling the puck,” says General Manager Reto Kläy about the new signing. Gredig can be used as a center or a winger.
The EVZ is strengthening its squad for the coming season with Rico Gredig. The forward has signed a two-year contract until the end of the 2027/28 season.
«Rico’s profile will be a great asset to our team in the future. We see a lot of potential in him, and he will play an important role in our team.»

In the summer of 2024, the New York Rangers secured the rights to Gredig, who is 185 cm tall and weighs over 80 kg, in the sixth round of the NHL draft, with the 191st overall pick. At the beginning of September, the forward, who will celebrate his 21st birthday on February 1, 2026, was allowed to join the Rangers’ rookie camp for the second time and gain valuable experience. Since September 16, the Grisons native has been back in action for HC Davos, for whom he has recorded two assists in twelve games so far this season.
