The
EC VSV has to accept the next personnel setback: defender Philipp Lindner will leave Villach despite an ongoing contract – this is now also reported by the “Kronen Zeitung”. The 30-year-old co-captain, who completed a total of five seasons for the Blue-Whites, is returning to his Tyrolean homeland and is about to move to the
HC Innsbruck.
Existing contract
Just a few weeks ago, VSV publicly announced that Lindner would remain part of the squad. The termination of the contract is all the more surprising. There are said to have been tensions behind the scenes for a long time – especially the relationship between Lindner and the VSV coach
Pierre Allard was considered contaminated, as the “Krone” reports. In addition, the special status of the defensive player apparently caused discontent within the team.
Support on the ice
Lindner has been one of the most important pillars of Villach’s defense in recent years. Last season he recorded 22 scorer points, received a lot of ice time and was a fixture in the power play. Despite financial losses, the defender has now decided on a two-year contract in Innsbruck. His advisor
Bernd Brückler
already confirmed the upcoming transfer to the “Krone”.
