The national team cancels all appointments

The international matches, tournament participation and training camps of all selection teams planned for February - from the youth to the senior national team, whether women or men - have been canceled. “This decision hurts, of course, but it is the only possible one at this moment. This primarily affects the young generation, whose development is slowed down as a result. We will do everything we can to make up for this lost ground,” said association president Andrea Gios, ice hockey boss Tommaso Teofoli and sports director Stefan Zisser in a press release. The priority now is not to endanger the safety and health of players, coaches and supervisors. 4 million euros for the clubs In addition, the ice sports association does not want to accept the risk of further corona cases and thereby make the implementation of the individual championships even more difficult. In addition, games that were recently canceled can be made up in both the ICE and the AlpsHL. “We have paid out around four million euros to the clubs over the past two years so that they can at least somewhat contain the financial losses, so we cannot expose them to any additional risk now,” it says in the broadcast. The leadership of the ice sports association is also using this to make an urgent appeal: “Everyone who loves this sport, whether on the ice or in the stands, should do their part and get vaccinated and adhere to the prescribed measures. This is the only way we can put this difficult time behind us as best and as quickly as possible.”
