Marcel Rodman: "After working as head coach in Villach last season, I really wanted to continue as head coach this season. After countless conversations with Patrick Schwarz, in which he told me what Hockey in Zell am See is all about, how important the club is for the whole region and what plans there are for the future, I didn't have to think twice. I could immediately identify with this and think that it is currently the perfect time for both sides to work together.
