Graz boss Jerich on KAC cancellations: “It didn’t matter what money we would have put on it”

The Graz 99ers have competed for three top performers EC KAC tried everything – but in the end in vain. President Herbert Jerich confirmed that the Styrians had intensively courted Clemens Unterweger and the cracks Böhs and Van Ee.

“Clemens Unterweger had an offer from us, but he was clearly interested in KAC. Böhs and Van Ee also declined. No matter what we would have put on it,” Jerich made it clear to the “Kronen Zeitung”.

For Jerich it is clear: In addition to the sporting aspect, prestige also plays a major role in this duel. The rivalry between Graz and Klagenfurt is not only played out on the ice, but also on the transfer market. Despite the cancellations, the 99ers boss emphasized that they continue to plan ambitiously and want to specifically strengthen the squad.
