S+“A win against HCB is like winning a championship”

In the last season of the ICE Hockey League, you captained your teams to the 4 derbies between HC Pustertal and HCB Südtirol Alperia. This Sunday the two traditional clubs will face each other for the 18th time in the cross-border championship at 5 p.m. in the Intercable Arena in Bruneck.

Then Armin Hofer and Anton Bernard are just spectators: one because he signed a contract with Rittner Buam last week, the other because he ended his career immediately after the last game of the past season. In the first part of the detailed interview, Armin Hofer talks about his surprising contract termination at HC Pustertal and his new employer Rittner Buam, but also about what a derby is all about, how he assesses his ex-team's chances and who will be the winner on Sunday will go.
