What is your opinion after six months of the Alps Sky Hockey League?
"I would say that we are satisfied. We could have won the regular season if we had not lost at home against EC-KAC II and on the road with Red Bull Juniors. But in the end we finished at the second place at a distance of a point from leader’s Rittner Buam. In Master Round we started badly but now we can recover. Our objective is to confirm at least our starting position at the beginning of the second phase. "
 
Can you tell us something more about the Wolves?
"I play in difense usually with Danny Elliscasis. We are a solid team and our foreign players make a difference. Also there are 5/6 very interesting young players who are growing very well. The coach, Mark Holick, is very prepared and can handle very quietly the most difficult situations in a game. Personally I get on well with him. It is also a trainer who talks to everybody. This is important for the harmony of the team.”
 
What do you think of the new season of the Alps Sky Hockey League?
"I guess that's a good championship. Opponents are always different. Such intensity. always a close match. It is also vital for young players to grow up with this kind of hockey. Thanks to this league the level of young players will grow very well in a short time. Their contribution will be higher moving forward with the seasons and this will raise even more the level of this championship. "
 
Which is the candidate teams to victory?
" I believe that at the present time the formations that can fight for the title are four. Clearly the HC Pustertal, then Rittner Buam, and Asiago. Jesenice will also say its part. However the other two teams in the Master Round, Lustenau and Feldkirch are good teams. Much will also depend playoffs tree.”
 
What to expect in your future?
"I want to keep playing as long as I can. I also started the role of coach for the Under-8-10 of the Pustertal Junior. After 20 years as a player, it's good to teach something useful to children. This is also thanks to the advice of the coach of the Under-14, Roland Golser. "
