Just in time for the start of practice, the Steinbach Black Wings have filled the last spot in their defense. With Martin Stajnoch, the Linz team is bringing a current champion back into its ranks. The 32-year-old clinched the Karl Nedwed Trophy in the win2day ICE Hockey League last season with EC Red Bull Salzburg. Although the defender only joined Salzburg shortly before the end of the Regular Season, he played a decisive role in winning the title with seven points (1 goal) in the playoffs.

Martin Stajnoch: "I am really happy to be here again. The last time I was here, it was a completely different organization. It was hard times for the Black Wings. Now I noticed from the beginning that the atmosphere is completely different. It's great that I get to know the organization in a different phase now and I want to contribute a lot to make us even better. It's going to be another tough season, but we'll grow together well as a team and give everything for the city."
