With the signing of Manuel Ganahl, the Moser Medical Graz99ers have added another piece to the puzzle for their squad for the upcoming season. The forward last played for the 99ers in the 2014/2015 season before moving to the EC-KAC. Ganahl has spent almost all of the last few years with the Carinthians, with the exception of the 2018/2019 season, when the forward moved to Finland. The 33-year-old is now returning to Graz and will be on the hunt for goals for the 99ers over the next three years.
Manuel Ganahl: "Of course I'm very happy to be back. I've already had six great years in Graz and have fond memories of that time. From a sporting point of view, it's a big challenge and that's what makes it so exciting. We are starting from scratch and it is now up to us to create a structure and come together as a team and form a really strong unit."

Zusevics moves to Innsbruck
Zintis Zusevics was born in Riga, but already played in the youth for the Graz99ers. The 30-year-old has played a total of almost 500 league games for Graz, Linz and most recently Vienna. Last season, an injury put him out of action for a long time, but he has fully recovered from it.
