Sharks get experienced defender
In addition to his stint with Znojmo, Boruta played exclusively in the Czech Republic's top two leagues, most recently with AZ Havirov. He also has two appearances for the Czech national team.

HC TIWAG Innsbruck head coach Mitch O'Keefe "Antonin is a really experienced all-around defender and knows the league. He reads the game very well, is strong on the blue line, and will help us both back and forward."

Young Guns for Pustertal
The "young guns" of HC Pustertal will be offered playing opportunities through cooperations with Broncos Sterzing (Alps HL), Brixen Falcons and Toblach Icebears (IHL / Serie B), but they will be trained and educated under professional conditions. The young players should also benefit from the professional structure off the ice: Technical, video, athletic, goalie training and medical support are available. Depending on the needs and situation, the sporting management decides on the deployment times.
