option 1

sebastien regazzoni would never consider switching his iihf affiliation to any other nation. while being left off of last year's switzerland team stung (he was ineligible so that's fair), he is a proud swissman born and raised in the city of bern (switzerland's hockey capital not named davos), and since the country borders both germany and france, he would never consider playing for such close rivals. his agent, mitchell van der heijden, was born in the netherlands but opted to play for the swiss internationally, and he stressed the importance of stability on the international stage to his client. plus, regazzoni, as previously mentioned, would never switch nations. he's been affiliated with the swiss his whole life, he loves his nation, and sees no real reason to change nationality due to this. plus, he's won a medal with his nation, and wants to get the swiss that elusive second gold.
