The Austrian ice Hockey-Verband (ÖEHV) has a new president. Carinthian Klaus Hartmann prevailed on Saturday at the General Assembly in Villach against the previous incumbent Gernot Mittendorfer with 133: 121 votes. The Upper Austrian had succeeded long-term president Dieter Kalt in 2016, but now missed re-election.
For the first time in a long time, two lists came up for the election of the Presidium. Hartmann finally prevailed with his vice presidents Nicolas Stockhammer, Günther Ropatsch and Yasmin Sarina Stepina. “Our motto for the election was ‘integrate instead of exclude’, and that’s how we want to start over the next four years,” said Villacher, 59, after his election.
“The whole Austrian ice hockey family is important to us, children, seniors, para ice hockey, top and popular sports. We will have discussions with everyone in Austria ice Hockey bring in and ours ice Hockey want to lead into a successful future. We want more children to use recruiting concepts ice Hockey bring. Of course it is very important to us to be among the best ice hockey nations worldwide and to play again in the A group for women and men, “said the previous vice president of the Carinthian Association.
