The EC Panaceo VSV admitted to its previous goaltender Dan Bakala, as the Carinthias resigned his contract for one more season in the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga. “Despite numerous offers of goalkeepers we stick to Dan Bakala”, Gerald Rauchenwald, Sports Director of VSV, said and added: “Dan is a goalie who can win games for us. Past season he gave us a lot of opportunities to stay into the games. Games we lost on the offensive end finally.” After Bakala played in Sweden (20 games SHL) and Germany (31 games DEL), he now heads into his second season with the Carinthian team. Further, Villach extended the contracts with defender Nico Brunner and center Adis Alagic. “Both have enough potential. We feel confident, that they will improve under the hand of new head coach Jyrki Aho”, Rauchenwald said.
