VSV fever: Macpherson remains and ensures new hope!

In an exciting game on Mardi Gras, VSV Villach defeated the HC Bolzano 4: 3 after extra time, which was able to compensate for them in the best-of-Seven series. The next duel is already in Bolzano on Friday, where the team will compete at 7:45 p.m. to continue its winning streak. This exciting message is accompanied by another important event: the contract extensions of two key players who secure the future of the club.

Dylan Macpherson remains an eagle

The VSV proudly announces that defender Dylan Macpherson will also appear for Carinthia in the coming season. The 26-year-old Canadian, who moved from North America to Villach in 2023, scored 26 points in his 48 missions. He was able to convince in the current season by being present in every basic game and collecting 20 points. Managing Director Martin Winkler emphasizes how important Macpherson is for the team: "Dylan is a hard -working defender who has absolutely convinced us in his two years in Villach and is an integral part of our team." Despite tempting offers from home and abroad, he remains loyal to Villachers and thus strengthens the defensive for the coming season.

In addition, the VSV confirmed that the experienced goalkeeper Joe Cannata remains for two more years. The 35-year-old keeper, who has an impressive catch rate of 92 percent this season, will be number 1 in goal after the end of the career of Jean-Philippe Lamoureux. Winkler praises Cannata as "one of the best goalkeepers in the league" and emphasizes his leadership qualities in the team. With these contract extensions, the "eagles" not only secure experienced players, but also prepare for further successes, so hockey-news.info and laola1.at
