HC Bozen and its squad problem

To explain: In the EBEL, every squad player is rated on a point scale from 0 to 4 based on his country of origin and his age. From Friday, teams are no longer allowed to exceed a total number of points of 60. If a club later exceeds this limit with its squad players and takes a player out of the squad before a championship game and replaces him with another - as was the case several times at HC Bozen this season - this exchange will be considered a transfer activity. From Friday onwards, each club is only allowed to change three outfield players and one goalkeeper. Two days before the deadline, Bolzano holds 63 points. In order to remain flexible with possible new signings, the club management must give up at least one player or definitely take them off the roster.

The rumors are rampant How does HC Bozen react now? The answer to this question seems more open than ever, as there are currently no reports from the club's headquarters on Galvanistrasse. At least it seems as if the club management has shelved the commitment of Kalterer Daniel Morandell or that of Eppan tryout player Gianluca Vallini (both 0 points) instead of backup Günther Hell (2,5 points). He is considered irreplaceable in the team structure.

Defender Roland Hofer, on the other hand, is a shaky candidate, although his knee injury is healing faster than planned and he could be available to coach Simioni again before Christmas. The Latvian Guntis Galvins is apparently back on the hit list. It is quite conceivable that he will have to give up his place in defense to Scott Valentine, who has reportedly been on the HCB's wish list for a long time.

There is complete uncertainty when it comes to the choice of personnel in attack. Only Matt Sisca, who has rarely appeared recently, is sitting on his packed suitcases. Phil DeSimone has no intention of changing, as the club management would be willing to let him go due to his meager goal tally (1 goal). Should he, contrary to expectations, say goodbye to Bolzano, they would apparently already have a replacement ready in Asiago center Kevin DeVergilio. In addition to DeVergilio, two other 0-point players, Luca Frigo (Valpellice) and Alex Frei (Kaltern), are being traded as possible reinforcements. However, the HCB has not yet specified its interest in both players. Those responsible still have time. See you Friday evening.

HC Bozen and its squad problem

The Bolzano club management has until Friday evening to adapt its squad to the 60-point rule. This means that at least one player is thrown out of the team. However, there currently does not seem to be a solution to the problem in sight.
