Olympic Bronze Medallists Team Schwaller Staying Together for New Season

One of Switzerland's most decorated rinks isn't going anywhere. Yannick Schwaller, fourth Benoit Schwarz-van Berkel, second Sven Michel, and lead Pablo Lachat-Couchepin have confirmed they will return together for the 2026-27 season, with coaches Havard Vad Petersson and Glenn Howard also staying on board. The Geneva-based squad has been on a steady upward trajectory since forming in 2022, collecting a World Championship bronze in 2023, a silver in 2025, and an Olympic bronze at the Milano Cortina Games earlier this year. Schwaller also broke through for his first Grand Slam title at the HearingLife Canadian Open in December, defeating Ross Whyte in the final in Saskatoon. With a belief that the best is still ahead of them, Team Schwaller heads into the new season with unfinished business at the top of the podium.
