Statement Patrik Kittinger: "Every hockey player dreams of becoming a professional. After three seasons I moved from the spusu Vienna Capitals organization to Kitzbühel in the Alps Hockey League and one season later to Zell am See. It was very hard for me to realize that I will not play in the ICE Hockey League for the time being. Bernd Vollmann & Johan Pennerborn gave me the chance to prove myself again at the end of last season. To get a second chance in the ICE at the age of 26, almost 27, is not a matter of course. I like it very much in Graz and the surrounding area. The coaching team with Johan will stay in Graz next season, some players as well, which is great. When I got the offer from Graz, I didn't hesitate for a second and signed. I'm really looking forward to wearing the 99ers kit next season and I will do my job and my role 100% so that we will be successful as a team."
