The "Krone" once again presents the new legionnaires of the Carinthian ice hockey clubs in its "Welcome to Carinthia" series. VSV colossus Patrick Holway loves the physical game - no wonder he is 1.95 m tall and weighs 100 kg. But the defenseman also has offensive strengths. At the Drau, he met his buddy Pearson again. 

The new VSV clean-up man! Defender Patrick Holway is 1.95 meters tall and weighs 100 kilos - his job is to make things clear in front of the Villach goal. "When it comes down to it, he's tough and uncompromising," says coach Tray Tuomie. "Yes, I love the physical game," grins Patrick. But the 27-year-old also has a lot to offer as a player: good skater, great shot, he's a weapon in the power play in particular.
