Graz "shopping tour"

New champion player signs with the 99ers

The shopping spree of the new 99ers continues. With the signing of Tim Harnisch from ice hockey champions Salzburg, Graz, under the leadership of neo-president Herbert Jerich, are stepping on the gas and bringing a well-known forward to the Murstadt for the next two years.

Harnisch, who has already won the championship title three times with Salzburg, will wear the jersey of the Graz99ers from the coming season. The forward is regarded as a strong skater who can read the game very well and has enormous potential. Last season, he scored four goals and eight assists for the team from Mozartstadt. Harnisch went through the entire Salzburg youth academy. The 180 cm tall attacker has played a total of 190 games (14 goals/18 assists) in the ICE Hockey League. He has also been repeatedly nominated for the Austrian national team, which underlines his quality at international level.

"Wants to fight for the title!"
 99ers sports director Philipp Pinter is happy: "We are very pleased that Tim has chosen the 99ers. I've known him personally for a long time, as he played four U20 World Championships for us. That doesn't happen every day in Austrian ice hockey - it also shows how much class Tim has." The forward himself clearly states his goals in Graz: "The goal is clear: I want to fight for the title with the 99ers!"
