Florian Lanzinger leaves VSV and changes to Red Bull Salzburg Juniors!

A significant change of player has shaken the Austrian ice hockey scene! The 20-year-old Florian Lanzinger leaves his home club VSV and joins the Red Bull Salzburg juniors in the Alps Hockey League. This decision, which was announced by the Villachers on Saturday, takes place "at the talent's own request". Lanzinger, who was already playing for the VSV U20 national team and was on the ice in two missions in Win2day Ice Hockey League this season, now wants to "collect game practice for one's own further development," said the club's official statement. In total, Lanzinger came to 33 games in the highest domestic league and scored a goal. In the calendar year 2023 he celebrated his first point on October 13th in the 5-2 victory in Laibach.

The way to Salzburg

The Detmold brothers are going separately: While Florian moves to Salzburg, his older brother Benjamin Lanzinger, who already scored 16 scorer points in 34 games this season, remains part of the VSV team under Head Coach Tray Tuomie. Florian is expected to sign for two years to the Mozartstätter, as reported hockey-news.info . The move to the Salzburg Juniors could offer Florian the opportunity to develop playfully and to gain a foothold in the Alps Hockey League.

The decision of Lanzinger to leave his home club clearly shows how ambitious he is. With his commitment at Salzburg, the "polar bulls" rely on promising talents and want to build it up in the team in order to promote its development. The Austrian ice hockey can be curious to see how this change will affect the young player's career.
