Feldkirch made it into the master round and is qualified for the playoffs, what is your review of the season so far?
We had a good start into the season, but recently we had some negative-runs. At the end we deserved being in the master-round, even though it was close.

What is possible for Feldkirch in the playoffs? Do you have any preferences on your opponent in the quarter finals?
We will see – the home advantage would be great, but it’s not in our hands only anymore. We aim to capture as many points as possible in the master round. In the playoffs we have to retrieve our best possible ice hockey, then we can compete against all teams. 

You are one of the key players of your team, how do you evaluate your role in the team?
It is my role to bring speed into the game, to create chances in the offense and also to execute by myself. I also want to be a reliable player in the defense and to be a kind of example for the young players. At the end I want to improve day by day.
 
The AHL exists now since half a year, what are your experiences so far of the league?
In comparison to the INL last year, the league became much better and the teams are on a comparable level. That was obvious when we were played not that well against lower ranked teams and had to take clear defeats. 
 
What are your personal objectives as a player and also for the time after your active career?
I want to play hockey as long as I have fun. For me personally it is important to receive the chance to play also in the future. My biggest dream is to get the champions-trophy one time. Beside my hockey life I aim to complete my academic studies in computer science this year.
