The defender, born in 1993 (188 cm x 93 kg), already played 7 games for the Foxes last season as a loan player and left a lasting impression with one goal and four assists. For him, the commitment in Bolzano means a return home. Trivellato was born in Bolzano and took his first steps on the ice in the youth teams of Trento and Laives, then he decided to pursue a career in Germany: there he continued his career as a junior in Berlin and made his debut in the first team in 2013 in the jersey of the Polar Bears. Over the years, he has secured a regular place in the DEL, playing for the Schwenninger Wild Wings and in recent years for the Krefeld Penguins, among others. In the first German league he brought it to 340 appearances and scored a total of 52 points. After his playing time in Bolzano, he returned to Krefeld for a short time and finished the past season in the second Swedish league with Västerås IK, recording 13 points in 18 games.

Since 2014 he has been one of the pillars of the Italian national team, with which he has already played 116 games between World Championships (2019 as captain) and international tournaments. In Riga he made only 4 appearances, having joined the team later due to a covid infection.

Alex Trivellato: "My experience in Bolzano during last year's season was very positive, I had a lot of fun and also the people around the team, just like the fans, helped me to feel comfortable even if I didn't have the opportunity to play in front of a full stadium. This is exactly what I'm waiting hard for: to play in front of an audience in the Ice Wave, in front of my friends and family, in the stadium where I spent hours and hours as a boy to attend the games. It's going to be fantastic."
