Probably one of the best two-way center Switzerland has ever produced. The diminutive Reto Von Arx has very good puck-skills and skating abilities. Reads the plays well, while his strong hockey sense and playmaking gifts lets him make his team-mates better. A leader on the ice and a strong personality off the ice. Reto Von Arx is a clutch player who plays the best in the biggest games. (by Rafik Soliman, April 2015)
