ICEHL: Villach brings back well-known defender!

The EC iDM Heat Pumps VSV reacts to Alex Wall’s injury and brings a well-known face back to the Drau.

Arturs Kulda put on the Adler jersey in 89 games this season between 2022 and 2024 and was able to collect 38 points. As the “Crown newspaper” reports, the Latvian’s signing is a reaction to Alex Wall’s injury, who will be out for a few more weeks. The left-handed shooter is undergoing a performance-related “try-out”.

Kulda spent the past season in Slovakia with Dukla Michalovce and has been training with the Draustadt U19 team in the last few weeks. On Friday, when VSV visits HC Falkensteiner Pustertal, the 37-year-old veteran is scheduled to celebrate his ICE comeback.
