David Kickert | Goalie | EC Red Bull Salzburg
The 31-year-old is enjoying an outstanding season. In 20 appearances so far, David Kickert has stopped 94.12% of all shots on goal, giving him the best save percentage among all goaltenders in the win2day ICE Hockey League. With five shutouts, he also leads that category together with three other goalies. Over the course of his entire career, Kickert has never posted a higher save percentage in a regular season.

T.J. Brennan | Defense | Olimpija Ljubljana
Regular Season MVP T.J. Brennan naturally earns his place on the Team of the Regular Season. The 36-year-old currently ranks third in league scoring with 53 points and is also the highest-scoring defenseman. The American recorded at least one point in 30 of his 46 appearances, including three four-point games.

Nick Bailen | Defense | Moser Medical Graz99ers
Alongside Brennan, Nick Bailen represents the defense on the Team of the Regular Season. The 36-year-old has produced 50 points so far this season. In his first full year in Graz, the American also posted a strong plus/minus rating of +17.

Mathias From | Offense | EC-KAC
With 55 points, the Dane ranks second among the league’s top scorers. For comparison, he had 41 points at the same stage of his first season with EC-KAC. The 28-year-old recorded one four-point game and produced three points in a match on five occasions. His plus/minus rating of +20 also places him among the league leaders.

Nicolai Meyer | Offense | Olimpija Ljubljana
Nicolai Meyer becomes the second player from Olimpija Ljubljana to make the Team of the Regular Season. The Dane currently leads the win2day ICE Hockey League in scoring with 59 points. He registered two four-point games and appeared on the scoresheet three times in a single match on five occasions. Only twice in his career has the 32-year-old produced a better regular season in terms of points.

Brad McClure | Offense | HCB Südtirol Alperia
The league’s leading goal scorer also earns a place on the team. With 31 goals, Brad McClure currently sits four goals ahead of his closest challenger, Mathias From. The 32-year-old Canadian recorded one hat trick and added seven two-goal games during the regular season. In his fourth season with HCB Südtirol Alperia, he is enjoying by far his most productive campaign. His previous best was 18 goals and 14 assists in his rookie season in 2022/23 – this year he finished with 31 goals and 17 assists.

Kirk Furey | Head Coach | EC-KAC
The Head Coach of the Regular Season is Kirk Furey. Although EC-KAC lost first place to Graz on the final matchday, the KAC still delivered another outstanding regular season with 33 wins. Klagenfurt ranked second in offense with 172 goals scored and third in defense with just 115 goals conceded. It is Furey’s third season as head coach of EC-KAC: after leading the team to first place in the regular season in each of the previous two years, he guided them to second place this time.
