The HCB starts in Innsbruck

People in the South Tyrolean state capital don't want to know anything about the championship title right before the start of the season. They are more concerned about starting the season successfully against Innsbruck. “The HCI has significantly upgraded compared to last season, especially when it comes to transfer card players. This became very clear in the pre-season. We absolutely have to be on our guard and not give our opponents any space to develop their game,” says HCB striker Marco Insam.

Innsbruck is the favorite opponent

The Foxes have had almost exclusively positive experiences with Innsbruck so far, having won 13 of the 14 EBEL duels so far. However, with former Fehervar coach Rob Pallin, success is now set to return to the banks of the Inn. Well-known reinforcements were made with the ex-Znojmo cracks Lubomir Stach and Ondrej Sedivy, as well as the North American strikers Austin Smith, Andrew Clark and Mario Lamoureux.

But the HCB's new signings should be in no way inferior to them. The commitment of goalies Marcel Melichercik and Jacob Smith, defenders Max Everson, Alex Gellert, Daniel Glira, Clark Seymour, as well as Denny Kearney, Michele Marchetti, Travis Oleksuk, Jesse Rot, Marc-Oliver Vallerand and Andrew Yogan has the average age in the squad reduced to 25,76 years. He's a veteran in the team - next to him recent addition Ryan Glenn - 36-year-old captain Alexander Egger, who is entering his 17th season in the HCB jersey. “We have a young but extremely talented group. The approaches in the pre-season were very promising, the mood in the team is right. Now we can finally get started,” says Egger happily.
