Ticino Rockets secured their first win of the Swiss League season with a 4-2 victory against Arosa on 19 September 2026. The home side opened their campaign on their own ice, and the result puts them in third place with one game played. Arosa remain winless after zero matches on record, sitting eighth in the table.
The outcome aligns with our earlier assessment. We had tipped the hosts to win, giving confidence at 60 per cent, and that call has come good. Ticino Rockets have not won since their last fixture before this opener, but the margin of victory suggests they found a way through Arosa's defence.
Recent results paint a picture of both sides. The Rockets lost 5-4 to Basel on 17 September before a heavy 6-2 defeat to GC Lions on 1 September. Arosa have been more inconsistent, losing 5-3 to Thurgau on 11 September but picking up a 4-2 win against Bregenzerwald a few days earlier.
The standings tell only part of the story. Third place with one game and one win does not mean much yet, and eighth place for Arosa carries no weight at zero matches played. What matters is that the Rockets have started with three points while their opponents have nothing to show.
By then, the table will have more meaning. The gap between the sides is clear for now, but the season has barely begun. Ticino Rockets have opened their account and will want to build on this foundation.
