After Maximilian Rebernig finished second in the January vote, the 21-year-old has now won the February vote. The forward, who is loaned to EC GRAND Immo VSV by EC Red Bull Salzburg, completes the line-up for the Opel & Beyschlag Young Star of the Season voting, which will start shortly. Rebernig, who is currently playing in the quarterfinals against Ljubljana with Villach, is completing his first season outside the Red Bull organization in Carinthia. He made a total of 16 appearances for Salzburg in the past two seasons.

In Villach, the former U18 and U20 international is currently flourishing, as he topped his January record (1G|1A) last month with four goals and three assists in eleven games for the regular season runners-up.

Maximilian Rebernig: "This is a very special award for me, I am very happy about it. Also because, in addition to experts and journalists, above all so many VSV fans have given me their vote - you are the best! It is not only the reward for my hard work in the past weeks, but also at the same time motivation and incentive to continue to give full power in the playoffs and to be successful with VSV."

The election consists of three components: in addition to the fan voting on the league homepage, the Puls24 experts, as well as journalists will also cast their votes. If two or more players receive the same number of votes, they will be ranked according to the result of the fan vote.
