Team boss Bader finalizes coaching team for the A-World Championship!

Austria's ice hockey team boss Roger Bader has put together a renowned team of assistants for the upcoming World Championship! 

The Swiss will be joined by assistants Christoph Brandner, Markus Peintner and his compatriot Arno Del Curto as well as goalkeeping coach Reinhard Divis for the tournament in the Czech Republic from May 19 to 26. The ÖEHV team will be fighting to stay in Group A in Prague.

Comeback in the coaching team for Brandner
Former goalkeeper Divis, the first Austrian player in the NHL, former team forward Peintner and long-time companion Del Curto were already assistant coaches to Bader at last year's successful World Championship in Tampere. Brandner, the first Austrian goal scorer in the NHL, is new to the World Championship team. The 48-year-old was already an assistant coach under team boss Bader at the 2018 World Championships in Copenhagen.
