New hope for Innsbruck's sharks: Jeremy Bracco is coming!

Innsbruck, Österreich - The HC Innsbruck reacts immediately to the disastrous 1: 5 defeat against Puster Valley. Just one day after this bitter bankruptcy, the association announces the commitment of the US striker Jeremy Bracco. The talented player, who has already collected several titles as young world champions, is supposed to lead the sharks out of their sporting crisis. With only 47 goals in 24 league games, the offensive of the Innsbruckers is clearly below average, which caused those responsible to strengthen the squad to strengthen a creative playmaker. Bracco is expected in Innsbruck on Sunday and could make his debut next weekend.

Jeremy Bracco brings an impressive balance from different leagues: he was selected in the NHL draft by the Toronto Maple Leaf in the second round in 2015, but could not make the big leap into the NHL. Instead, he showed his skills in over 180 games in the AHL and almost 100 in the KHL, as well as one season in Finland and the DEL. At the Krefeld penguins, for example, he was able to collect 54 points in 54 league games. Most recently, the 27-year-old was active in Slovakia near Zvolen. Bracco is looking forward to the challenge in Innsbruck and is ready to help the team get back up, as he emphasized in an interview.

HCI sports manager Max Steinacher emphasizes Bracco's skills and is convinced that he can make a decisive contribution to improving the offensive performance. His strengths in the power play in particular could be of great importance for HC Innsbruck to score the urgently needed goals. In a phase that was very crucial for the sharks, this new addition comes at the right time. The pressure increases, but the hope of a turn in the season is growing with every new addition, so reports krone.at and hockey-news.info .
