Black Wings Linz: Two important positions will probably remain unchanged!

Final stop pre-playoffs! For the Steinbach Black Wings Linz, the win2day ICE Hockey League season ended last Friday – the Linzers are now already taking a look ahead, where there will be one or two constants.

After 48 games, the Black Wings Linz only finished in 9th place – with 62 points they ended up a full 23 points outside the top 6 and had to go into the pre-playoffs. In the best-of-three series against VSV, the Stahlstadt team only scored two goals in two games – not enough, the Draustadt team won 2-0 and ended the Upper Austrians’ season.

But at Linz, not much is likely to change in terms of the team and the position of sporting director – Philipp Lukas will have his back: “We will analyze everything in detail – including when it comes to the support staff and players. If Philipp Lukas wants to remain sporting director and head coach, that’s okay with me,” said BWL managing director Peter Nader to the “Crown newspaper“.

For Lukas, who has held this dual role for the last three seasons: “I want to carry on as is. I’m not jumping off the ship as captain. There’s nothing to sugarcoat! It’s difficult to name a single reason why it happened. Disappointment isn’t a nice thing, but it makes you think about what you need to change – in all areas from off ice to structural to how do we change our game.”
