1. What is your opionion about the Sky Alps Hockey League?
„The level of the SKY Alps Hockey League is for sure higher then it was past season in the Inter-National-League. The teams from Ritten or Pustertal maybe could even play in the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga. For us as a young team it is a good year to prepare for challenges on a higher level.“
 
2. Red Bull Hockey Juniors are eight in this moment (January 19th 2017). What were your expectations for this season?
„Our aim was to get into to the Top 6 and to make the Master Round and the direct Play-off-Qualification. But also the eight place is a good starting position for us for the Intermediate Round. All-in-all we could have finished higher, but we left some points behind.“
 
3. What do you expect from the Intermediate Round in Sky Alps Hockey League?
„The Intermediate Round will be hard work for us. Each team wants to make it into the Play-offs and will give 100%, so each game will be already a Play-off-game for us!“
 
4. Your team, Red Bull Hockey Juniors, also takes part in the Finish Under-20-Championship? What are the profits out of this games?
„The Finish U20-League is one of the Top 3 Junior-Leagues in Europe. The tempo is extremly high and the Fins working-attitude is really good and so we can learn a lot from them. Finland not for nothing is a Top 5 nation in ice-hockey!"
 
5. You made already some games for EC Red Bull Salzburg in Erste Bank Eishockey Liga. What are your plans for the future?
„Since I started playing hockey, I always dreamed of playing in the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga. I will continue to work hard to reach my aim. In the next years I want to play in Austrians highes League and from there I want to make it in another country, like Konstantin Komarek or Michael Raffl."
