The Salzburg ice bulls also want to continue their success in the upcoming Icehl season. According to Christian Winkler, “Managing Director Sports Red Bull Ice Hockey”, the key is the continuity of the team.
“In the meantime, this team has such a strong tribe that is no longer available.
The organization also attaches great importance to keeping talents in Salzburg. Winkler explains: “Before a good player goes somewhere else and may still be successful against us, we want him to stay in the organization.”
Changing from Oliver David did not necessarily come as a surprise
The strategy is also evident in the trainer positions: the move from Oliver David to Munich was planned and understandable. Winkler emphasizes: “The DEL is a number larger. Oliver signaled in the first talks that he wants that.” At the same time, Manny Viveiros’ commitment for Salzburg was “a logical step” because he already knows the processes in the club.
With this mixture of continuity, targeted coaching decisions and strategic transfers, the ice bulls continue to secure their top position in the league.
