The 26-year-old Daniel Glira wore the dress of the HC Pustertal Wölfe first at the age of 16. After the defender established himself more and more as a support for the HCP in the following years, he moved to HCB Südtirol Alperia in 2016, with whom he won the title in the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga in 2018.

After four seasons with the "Foxes", Glira now returns to the "Wolves". "I am very excited to return to the HCP. The last four years with Bozen were an incredibly beautiful and instructive time for me. I would like to thank Dieter Knoll, all employees, players and fans for that. Now I am looking forward to my new task and hope to be able to help the team. I can hardly wait to get started," the 26-year-old said looking forward to the challenge.

Schweitzer returns from Gherdeina to the HCP
Viktor Schweitzer wore the dress of the HC Pustertal Wölfe for the first time in the U-19. Until the end of the season 2016/17, the striker was an integral part of the HCP. In the first season of the Alps Hockey League he scored 21 points in 38 games. Afterwards he turned his back on the HCP and, just like Glira, signed with HCB Südtirol Alperia. In January this year Schweitzer moved from Bolzano to HC Gherdeina valgardena.it. The 28-year-old scored twelve points in 15 games for the South Tyroleans.

Now he is looking forward to wearing the Pustertal dress again in the future: "I am very happy to wear the HCP jersey again after 3 years. The club has shown great interest and I have noticed that they also want to rely on me in the future. So the decision was very easy for me and I am really looking forward to this new challenge. We are already in full training and I can hardly wait to return to the Rienz Stadium".
