Bratislava Capitals hockey coach Peter Draisaitl is 100 percent behind the club’s decision to suspend participation in the Austrian supranational IHL. He said this after Sunday’s last official training of his team.
The Capitals prematurely terminated their activities this season after the tragic deaths of hockey player Boris Sádecký and the general director and vice-president of the club Dušan Pašek Jr.
“I have mixed feelings. However, given the circumstances, the interruption of the season is the only right decision, which I stand for 100% and I have great respect for, as well as to manage this situation. “ said Peter Draisaitl after training.
In his coaching future, the German coach is not yet clear: “I will meet with Mr. Ďurkovič today and see. I don’t have enough information yet to tell me what my future will look like. ”
