After Alexander Pallestrang’s end of career, the captain’s office at the Pioneers Vorarlberg was vacant. Now the successor is clear.
In front of 1,200 fans, including Vorarlberg’s ice hockey figure, Marco Rossi, the Pioneers Vorarlberg defeated HC Thurgau 2-1 in the first test game. With the game, neo-coach Nygard was not dissatisfied. “You could build up pressure at the front and take the pace with you, there would still be enough room for improvement in the back,” said the coach.
Great honor for “Home Player”
It was a special game for one: Kevin Macierzynski, who took over the position of the unusual Nathan Burke in the second line, his team led on the ice as a captain for the first time and will now have this office.
“I grew up in Feldkirch and learned to play ice hockey here. It is very special for me and a great honor to lead the team as a captain,” said the 33-year-old. Daniel Woger, Ramon Schnetzer and Oskar Maier act as assistants.
