Maximilian Preiml
“The anticipation for the league is huge, it is increased by opening it with a home game. There is nothing better than completing the start for a new chapter in front of our own audience.”
“Against Fehérvár AV19, I expect a hard -fought game from the start that is being played very intensely from both goals. I just have to continue playing as we have occurred in the last games in the Champions Hockey League. If this is successful, I am in good spirits that we go against the Hungarians with three points.”
“The four previous CHL games were a good location for us, we saw where we are in comparison with top European teams and the conclusion is quite positive. We have held out against Berlin and Odense three points each, the games against Sparta and Brynäs were also good despite the defeats. But we were able to get used to the high pace in these encounters. fit well. “
“My personal expectations of the season are the one that I want to be able to build up on what has been developed in the previous year and to develop further. I just want to bring what I can do well, how I can best help the team. Then I look optimistically at 2025/26.”
