Alexander Egger for HCB Südtirol Alperia

Alexander Egger is an institution in Bolzano. The now 43-year-old defender laced up his shoes for the Foxes until the 2017/18 season and was one of the team's absolute top performers in both of the South Tyroleans' ICE titles. In the last trophy win in the 2017/18 season, Egger not only captained his team, but also entered the ICE record books with the fastest goal in a final series.

Matthias Trattning for EC Red Bull Salzburg

Matthias Trattnig is one of the greats of the win2day ICE Hockey League. The six-time ICE champion scored 40 playoff goals for EC Red Bull Salzburg including eleven game-winning goals. Only Thomas Koch (14) scored more game-winning goals. Trattnig ended his active career after the 2018/19 season.

Greg Holst for HC TIWAG Innsbruck

Greg Holst - a name that is indispensable from the sport of ice hockey in the win2day ICE Hockey League. Even though he won his title with EC VSV and is associated with the Adler, Holst represents HC TIWAG Innsbruck as "Glorymonial", which he led to the playoffs in the 2008/09 season as head coach. The NHL-experienced crack also spent eleven seasons as an active player with the Tyroleans and was responsible for numerous successes of the Sharks.

Günther Lanzinger for EC iDM Wämrepumpen VSV

The last title of EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV dates back to 2006. One of the last championship team of the Eagles is the Villach legend Günther Lanzinger. The now 51-year-old put on the jersey of the Villach Eagles only in his entire professional career. Lanzinger played almost 1,000 games in Austria's top division and scored more than 600 points.

Patrick Harand for the EC-KAC

At just 38 years old, Patrick Harand is the youngest of our Glorymonials. Four times the native of Vienna conquered the "Karl-Nedwed-Trophy" - twice of them with the EC-KAC. In 2019, Harand even led the KAC to the championship as assistant captain. In the title game against the Vienna Capitals, the then number 16 provided the first goal for Klagenfurt in the eventual overtime victory.

Phil Lakos for the spusu Vienna Capitals

Phil Lakos is the glorymonial whose active career is the youngest. The current season is his first season in which he is no longer actively attacking. Lakos has been consistently involved in the win2day ICE Hockey League since the 2003 playoffs. During that time, he won two championships with the Caps and probably set a record for eternity: the "Bad Boy" served 1890 penalty minutes. He sat in the penalty box for over 31 hours - longer than any other player in the history of the win2day ICE Hockey League.

Rick Nasheim for the Steinbach Black Wings Linz

In 2003, the Steinbach Black Wings Linz captured their only championship title since the league was founded. One of the big performers on the championship team was Rick Nasheim. The Canadian with Austrian citizenship finished with 10 scorer points (4 goals, 6 assists) in the playoffs of the Champions Season. But that wasn't the only trophy Nasheim captured. At that point, the forward had already wrapped up five Austrian championship titles. Today, the now 60-year-old is Director of Scouting at Steinbach Black Wings Linz.
