Rumors | Goalkeeper castling in South Tyrol

HC Bozen will start the new season with a completely renewed goalkeeper tandem. Was the departure of Sam Harvey already set in stone after the end of the season (he moved to Rauman Lukko in the Finnish first league), so stood behind the whereabouts of Andrew Bernard a big question mark. Especially because he showed this season that he can still deliver strong performances and is not resigned to the role of a reserve. If a commitment to the AlpsHL was in the air in the meantime, it should now be clear: Bernard has apparently signed a contract with HC Pustertal.

The 32-year-old is likely Tomas Sholl inherit, who in turn is associated with Södertälje SK (second Swedish league). The back-up who was so strong last season Jake smith is expected to extend his contract and form the newly formed goalkeeper duo with Bernard. There shouldn't be a clear number 1, but there should be healthy competition that drives both goalkeepers to achieve top performance.

HCG trusts the youth It's not just the ICE Hockey League that's busy working on the squad, the first decisions have already been made in a league below. A new era is about to begin at HC Gherdëina. The Ladins, who convened the general assembly this week and elected a new board under the leadership of Walter Ploner, are reportedly saying goodbye Colin Furlong. The 30-year-old has achieved outstanding results in the last two seasons, but is now apparently playing for his own team Paul Hofer Place. The 21-year-old should get his chance as a goalkeeper after three years as a backup. Where Furlong is headed is unknown. If he receives the Italian passport this summer, many doors will open for him.

Ob Frederic Cloutier Whether HC Meran has another season left is more unclear than ever. The 41-year-old has speculated about retiring several times, but has always decided to continue his career. What is certain is that HCM is scouring the market for alternatives. Another personnel decision seems to have been made by the Eagles: coach Brad Gratton will probably not extend his contract, although he is highly regarded by President Stefan Kobler. However, the Canadian's whereabouts are not yet definitely off the table.
