Spellbound waiting in Bolzano and beyond

The goalkeeper position... ...is an absolute priority in squad planning at the moment. Jake Smith will be the backup again, but who is the new number one? The club's management has apparently decided on a name, but the implementation has not yet been reported. There should be clarity about Tuokkola's successor by Saturday at the latest. The defence... ...is the part of the team that is best positioned at the moment. Stefano Marchetti, Campbell, Nordlund, Glira and Geiger are available, but a sixth and a seventh defender are still missing. The second mentioned function could be the talented one Tobias Brighenti clothe. The HCB has expressed strong interest in the 21-year-old from Margreid, whose transfer rights lie with the Auer training club. The young national player has drawn attention to himself in the AHL with Cortina and Neumarkt over the past two years, and the EBEL would be the logical career step.

As a rather unlikely alternative to Brighenti Ruben Rampazzo , who was most recently active in the second Swiss league, traded. The attack... ...is the biggest construction site in the Bolzano squad. After Petan, Miceli and Bernard should also Daniel frank extend his contract shortly. In addition to these four, the new additions Insam, Kuparinen, Carozza and Deluca are available. You could Luca Frigo who, despite a mixed season, has good prospects of staying in the state capital.

Matthias Mantinger and Tommaso Traversa, who were under contract with Vipiteno and Ritten last season, are no longer an issue in Bolzano. They will also play in the AHL next winter. It is more than questionable whether Stefano Marchetti and Travis Oleksuk will continue to play on the same team. © V. Antonello

Which colors Matias Sointu , Travis Oleksuk and Domenic Mondardo is still open. All three have held discussions with the HCB, but have not yet given any confirmation. With Oleksuk and Monardo, the decisive factor will probably be how great the indicated interest from Dornbirn and Villach actually is and how much time HC Bozen gives them to think about it.

The future of is also unclear Michael Marchetti , whose talent is undisputed, but who wasn't always on the same wavelength as Coach Suikkanen.

However, he has the better cards as a veteran Mark Gander and last year's substitute Victor Schweitzer , which could fall victim to the points regulation. No discussions have yet been held with either player. While Bolzano apparently has priority on filling the first two forward lines, half of the AHL is watching the transfer activities in the ice wave with a spell. Pustertal would welcome Schweitzer with open arms and would probably also sign Gander as an alternative to him. Ritten has also put out feelers to Gander and the local club Vipiteno could also enter the competition. However, those interested will have to be patient, because everything depends on the final decision made by HCB boss Dieter Knoll and his entourage. Like so often.
