Head Ice Bull is happy with Vasili Zelenov
Red Bull junior Vasili Zelenov was picked 204th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in round seven of the National Hockey League (NHL) Entry Draft. On Sunday, the Russian-born player was already on the plane to the development camp. The director of RB Ice Hockey is delighted.
In mid-June, Russian-born Vasili Zelenov - like twin brother Ivan - was granted Austrian citizenship, emphasizing: "We've seen ourselves as Austrians for a long time. Now we can also represent the country internationally." And how! On Saturday, the Red Bull Junior was picked 204th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in round 7 of the National Hockey League Entry Draft - after Lower Austrian Gregor Biber (Utah Hockey Club/round four, 98) as the 19th Austrian overall.
Already on the plane overseas
"That's a great story, I'm really happy for him. And it shows that the Alps Hockey League is also being watched by scouts," emphasizes Christian Winkler, Director of RB Ice Hockey. Important talks to come. "It was agreed with the family that we wouldn't talk again until after the draft. We'll see what Buffalo has in mind." Yesterday, the talented winger (18) was on a plane overseas to the development camp.
What makes Winkler just as happy: "Austria's outstanding games at the EURO." Bayern's wish: "A final between Germany and Austria."
