With prominent absentees: training camp started

Joachim Ramoser, Alex Lambacher, Diego Kostner, Simon Kostner: All of them will not be available to coach Greg Ireland at the World Cup in Latvia. If the DEL cracks Ramoser and Lambacher have to sit out injured, the Kostners, who are not related, have given other reasons: Ambri Piotta striker Diego is still feeling the after-effects of an injury suffered in December 2019 and “doesn’t want to risk anything”. Simon's professional reasons prevent him from taking part. As the Italian Ice Sports Association writes on its homepage, Diego Kostner is nevertheless expected in Bolzano, although he says he has already informed coach Greg Ireland of his cancellation. In addition to the four South Tyroleans, Luca Zanatta (injury) and Marco De Filippo (work) cannot take part in the training camp. That's why Diego Glück (HC Gherdëina), Manuel Öhler (Rittner Buam), Tommy Purdeller (Red Bull Ice Hockey Academy) and Leonardo Felicetti (Fassa Falcons) were nominated. It's still unclear who will ultimately make it to the final selection: some players will be cut on Sunday, and those whose teams are still in the playoffs will move up. In the absence of Ireland, who will not join the team until April 27th, Giorgio De Bettin, Riku-Petteri Lehtonen and Diego Scandella led the training of the 29 athletes on Tuesday. The provisional World Cup squad: Gate: Andreas Bernard (Villacher SV – ICE), Jake Smith (Rittner Buam), Matthias Rindone (Porin Ässät – FIN U18), Damian Clara (Red Bull Salzburg – AUT U18). Defense: Alex Trivellato (Västerås - SWE2), Daniel Glira (HC Pustertal), Ivan Althuber (HC Pustertal), Phil Pietroniro (Cortina), Gregorio Gios (Fassa Falcons), Sebastiano Soracreppa (Thurgau - SUI2), Enrico Larcher (Cortina), Fabian Dellagiacoma (HC Eppan). Storm: Alex Petan (Fehervar - ICE), Peter Hochkofler (Red Bull Salzburg - ICE), Raphael Andergassen (HC Pustertal), Markus Gander (Wipptal Broncos), Tommaso Traversa (HC Pustertal), Matthias Mantinger (Wipptal Broncos), Simon Berger (HC Pustertal), Massimo Carozza (HC Pustertal), Patrick Tomasini (HC Gherdëina), Stephan Deluca (Ticino Rockets - SUI2), Maximilian Sölva (HC Gherdëina), Leonardo Felicetti (Fassa Falcons), Diego Glück (HC Gherdëina), Manuel Öhler ( Rittner Buam), Tommy Purdeller (Red Bull Salzburg – AUT U20), Alessandro Segafredo (GCK Lions – SUI U20), Thomas Galimberti (HC Eppan). The test game program: May 1st: Italy – France (in Aosta) May 2nd: France – Italy (in Megeve) May 4th: Switzerland – Italy (venue TBD) May 8th: Italy – Austria (in Bolzano) May 9th: Italy – Austria (in Bolzano)
