Handshake refused: Strong criticism of ICEHL coach after playoff exit!

Not only the sporting failure for discussions, but also controversial behavior in the gang. The focus is on trainers

Doug Shedden
who after the decisive defeat against
Olimpija Ljubljana

refused the traditional handshake.

This gesture is considered an integral part of fair play in ice hockey – especially after a playoff series. The reaction from the club boss was all the clearer
Dieter Knoll
out of. In an open letter he clearly distanced himself from his coach’s decision.

Knoll emphasized that although one could understand the disappointment after leaving, such behavior did not correspond to the club’s values. For HC Bozen, fairness and respect towards the opponent have top priority – regardless of the outcome of the game. These principles should “never be missing,” the club boss said unequivocally. Shedden probably has no future in South Tyrol anyway.
