Hope lives with the fans
Graz99ers
: Captain

Korbinian Holzer

could make his comeback in time for the decisive game on Sunday. But patience is still required – a final decision is still pending.

Uncertain starting position before match day

According to the “Kronen Zeitung”, the deployment of the experienced defender is still questionable after recently recovering from illness. The coaching team will decide on his suitability for use at short notice.

Holzer is considered a stabilizing force in the defense and brings important calm to the game with his experience from top international leagues.

Key players with leadership roles

As a captain and leader, Holzer is much more than just a defender. A look at his performances over the last two years in the
ICE Hockey League

shows his consistency: In the 2024/25 season he played 39 games in the regular season and scored six goals and six assists for a total of twelve points.

In the current 2025/26 season he was on the ice in 44 games in the regular season and recorded three goals and five assists.
