The 30-year-old Anton Bernard is already eleven years part of Bolzano. Since last season, the center is captain of the team too. He debuted in 2008, since then he has won the title in the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga twice. The captain defines the goals for the upcoming season clearly: "We will do everything to get into the top five, which means the direct qualification for the playoffs: our dream is to bring the trophy back to the Talferstadt."

Striker Marcus Insam also stays at the Foxes. The 30-year-old can look back on many successful years with the HCB. In a total of 451 games he scored remarkable 218 points. The Italian international is looking forward to the upcoming season, but he knows about the great competition in the league: "We have to try to get into the top five: this requires a constant performance without much sagging and defeats in a row because the other teams have strengthened and we have to keep up with the best."

In addition to the two experienced playmakers, youngster Ivan Deluca Bolzano also stays in Bolzano. The 21-year-old has been part of the Foxes since last season. In his first season the attacker scored 15 points in 59 appearances.
