After winning the title, the Graz99ers’ full focus is on the most important person: head coach Dan Lacroix. The master trainer is naturally in great demand after his success – and his future in Graz remains unclear.
While it is emphasized internally how important Lacroix was for the strong season, the discussions are apparently difficult, according to the “Kronen Zeitung”. If the Canadian stays, it would be extremely important for the 99ers. Lacroix managed to form a powerful team within a short time after parting ways with Harry Lange and gave the team a clear playing philosophy.
At the same time, the interest from other clubs is unsurprising. In Graz they are still hoping for an agreement. Those responsible are working intensively to bind Lacroix to the club in the future.
But clubs from abroad are also likely to have cast their fishing rod after the 99ers champion maker. As the “Picture” reports, Lacroix is likely to be the topic of the DEL champion Eisbären Berlin. The Canadian knows the German top league, having coached the Kölner Haie in 2018/19.
