Contract expires: Austro defender leaves Black Wings Linz!

The Steinbach Black Wings Linz and Michael Kernberger will not extend their collaboration. The defender will be leaving the steel city again after four appearances for Linz.

With five wins and 14 out of 15 possible points in the last nine days, the Steinbach Black Wings slowly worked their way out of a botched start to the season. With the exception of Luis Lindner, who was already able to take his first steps back on the ice, the personnel restrictions also eased during this time. During the most challenging phase, Michael Kernberger strengthened the Stahlstadters as a reliable support.

The 28-year-old defender wore the Upper Austrian jersey four times and contributed an assist. After the previously injured players returned, head coach Philipp Lukas returned to his original regular formation. Due to the now full squad, both sides decided not to extend the contract, which is valid until the current international break.
