(Press Release HC Val Pusteria) – Only a few rounds after the engagement of Greg Carey, the Wolves are ready to announce a new acquisition.

The new forward has already had experience in the ICE Hockey League, his name is  MAX GERLACH  and last season he played with the Innsbruck Sharks, scoring 36 points in 48 games. 

The 23 – year – old striker began his career in WHL and then ventured to Europe at the age of 21. He led the Ticino Rockets (NLB) attack, was loaned to Ambri Piotta for the Champions Hockey League and earned his contract with Innsbruck (2020/21). 

In the summer of 2021 the American player from Minnesota moved to „Allsvenskan“ with AIK Stockholm, where an injury at the end of August prevented a good continuation of the championship.

Now the time has come to return to ICE, this time playing however south of the Brenner Pass. Max Gerlach will arrive in Brunico as soon as possible, so that he can join the team for the week with the hat-trick at home: Graz (16.11.), Bolzano (19.11.) and Fehervar (20.11.). 

Armin Hofer & Co. blow the hunting horn to earn their place in the Playoffs! A hot winter is expected at the “Intercable Arena”!

“I am looking forward to coming to Brunico and I have only heard good things about the HCP fans and the club. I’m ready to help the team get back in the running for the playoffs. “
