About
Lian Bichsel, a physically dominant two-way defenseman from Olten, Switzerland, standing at 197 cm and weighing 106 kg. Known for his strength, reach, and presence on the ice, he was selected in the first round of the NHL Entry Draft by the Dallas Stars, a testament to his elite potential and professional mindset.
With athleticism running in the family, Lian joined Platform International at the age of 15 and, two years later, made the decision to move to Sweden to further his development. Competing with both Leksands IF and Rögle BK in the top tier of Swedish hockey, he quickly built a reputation for his physical style of play, commitment to detail, and ability to impact the game at both ends of the ice.
Relentless in his preparation and focused on long-term growth, Lian is establishing himself as a unique generational talent on the international stage.
