The future of
Pioneers Vorarlberg
is currently causing great unrest in the local ice hockey scene. The people of Feldkirch are said to be in serious financial trouble – a possible exit from the company
ICE Hockey League
is in the room.
Financial worries in Vorarlberg
According to reports, the Pioneers are threatened with extinction. Should a withdrawal actually occur, a place in the league would theoretically have to be reallocated – a scenario that immediately sparked speculation about possible replacements.
Zell am See as a candidate?
As the “Kronen Zeitung” says, the league officials should
EK Zell am See have in mind. The “Eisbären” have been one of the most stable organizations in the Alps Hockey League for years (they were champions last season) and have continuously developed both in terms of sport and structure.
A promotion to the ICEHL would be exciting from a sporting perspective and would represent the next big step for the club.
Clear rejection from those responsible
But clear signals are coming from Zell am See itself: League promotion is currently not an issue. Managing director Schwarz made it clear to the “Krone” that they did not want to take any risks.
Those responsible see them
Alps Hockey League
currently as the perfect platform for the further development of the club. A hasty move into the ICEHL would jeopardize the stability that has been built up over the last few years.
