The forward won the voting ahead of Patrick Antal (spusu Vienna Capitals), Danjo Leonhardt (EC Red Bull Salzburg) and Roman Faith (iClinic Bratislava Capitals).

Villach native Benjamin Lanzinger played exclusively for his hometown club EC GRAND Immo VSV except for two short loan agreements (Klagenfurt and Zell am See). He made his debut in the first team already at the age of 16, on September 25th 2016, in a 1:4 loss against Moser Medical Graz99er. He scored his first goal about three weeks later in a 6:5 OT win against HC TIWAG Innsbruck - Die Haie. In the running season, the 21-year-old is Villach's fourth best scorer with six goals, dishing three assists too. Lanzinger already received the Young Star of the Month award once in February 2020.

Benjamin Lanzinger: "It is a very special award for me to have been chosen as Player of the Month September/October in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League.

Procedure of the election

First, five monthly winners will be determined. For this purpose, four players per month are nominated to take part in the voting. Due to less gamedays in September 2021, the first two months have been combined into one election. The five monthly winners will then compete in April 2022 for the title of "Opel & Beyschlag Young Star of the 2021/22 season".

The election consists of three components: in addition to the fan voting on the league homepage, the Puls24 experts, as well as journalists will also cast their votes. If two or more players receive the same number of votes, they will be ranked according to the result of the fan vote.
