History

The club was originally founded in 1987 as HC Iragna. Later it was renamed HC Biasca 3 Valli. Since 1992, the franchise has played in the Pista di ghiacco di Biasca, which was renamed in 2016 Raiffeisen BiascArena.[1]

After winning the Swiss Regio league in 2016, HC Biasca submitted an application to play in the National League B. After approval, the club was renamed the HCB Ticino Rockets, with the purpose to serve as an affiliate club to shareholders and National League clubs' HC Ambrì-Piotta and HC Lugano.[2]

gollark: Histograms are just... why. Did they think "we must invent the most confusing and irritating possible way to represent data" or something?
gollark: I quite like maths. Except circle theorems and histograms.
gollark: They get around the fact that common calculators can do a not insignificant amount of the maths-exam stuff automatically by having a non-calculator paper for further maths, requiring working, and having more complex multi-step questions.
