Andrew Bernard
is currently still in the middle of the action: the 35-year-old is fighting for the title with HC Meran in the final of the Alps Hockey League. It’s the last big appearance of his career – because after that it’s over. A possible title win would give the veteran a perfect ending. The stage could hardly be bigger.
Mixed time in Villach
Not all stages of his career went as planned. Especially when
Villacher SV Bernard could not meet expectations and fell short of hopes. This chapter is still considered one of the most difficult of his career.
International experience and national team
Apart from that, Bernard can look back on a long and respectable career. Stations in Finland and Sweden shaped his path, and he was an integral part of the Italian national team for years and played at several world championships.
Everything for the perfect farewell
Now Bernard is facing his last games as a professional. With HC Meran he will face Val Gardena in the AlpsHL final.
