The votes of the four finalists

Thomas Rottensteiner - Ritten Sport Renault Trucks “We tried to put together an event with all the trimmings. I would like to thank the sponsors, the community and all the sporting institutions who have always supported us and made it possible for us to come this far. Since we are playing in front of our home crowd, we have a great opportunity and in order to take advantage of it we have to show our best side. Top-class opponents await us and we are preparing for tough competition. The signing of Patrick Rissmiller was very important. If the coach wants it that way, he will appear with the team in the Italian Cup.”

Marco Cogno - HC Valpellice Bodino Engineering “A difficult task awaits us right from the start, because we have to play against the home team. But we will still do everything we can to successfully defend the title we won last year. The Italian Cup victory last year was very important for the club because it sparked a passion for ice hockey among the residents of Torre Pellice. This is also why we want to give the Knights, who have become even stronger due to the new addition, a tough nut to crack.”

Armin Helfer - Fiat Professional Wolves “Like all other teams, we are going to Klobenstein to win. Right at the start we will face the players from Asiago, against whom we have lost every game so far this season. But every game is different, so we firmly believe we can do it. We hope for the support of our fans, who have always stood by us not only in Bruneck, but also far away from the Leitner Solar Arena."

Renato Tessari - Migross Asiago “In sport, the best always wins. We hope to recover from the Continental Cup by the weekend. I think the teams and also the spectators can expect an exciting and eventful weekend, because the best ice hockey teams from Italy will face each other at Ritten. “I also believe that the club has spared no effort to organize the Final Four in the best possible way and I am sure that we will be able to experience a great event.”
