The goalkeeper position is becoming increasingly important for HC Innsbruck. Haie chairman Günther Hanschitz significantly targeted goalie Matt Vernon after the mixed start of the season:
“There just has to come more. He has to keep the team in the game with important saves,” Hanschitz told the crown. In fact, the 27-year-old North American, son of Stanley Cup winner Mike Vernon, has not yet been able to convince. In his first four missions, he brought it to a catch rate of only 83 percent. It is currently the worst single goalie of the entire league.
A bitter step backwards compared to the previous year: At that time it was Evan Buitenhuis who saved the sharks with outstanding performances. The Canadian shone with a catch rate of 92.55 percent.
