Wiler will not be missing!
(30. 5. 2007, florbal.cz/ translated by Eva F. Novak)
As well as during the last seasons, the team SV Wiler Ersigen will not be absent at the Prague Fortuna Czech Open. An acting Swiss champion always won the medals at the last two attendances at the summer Prague tournament. Recently, Wiler is the Swiss club No.1. Just the year before last, SVWE was superseded by Alligator Malans with star duet Olofsson-Jussila. However, this year everything is already retrieved. The team with brothers Hofbauers managed the final series against Tigers Langnau very well and won 3:1 on matches. However, in August Wiler Ersigen will introduce itself in Prague just without its brother’s duet. The Swedish IBK Dalen gave an indication in attendance of Christopher and Matthias Hofbauers. Another big loss might be also the retirement of Andreas Hedlund who finished his active players’ career. Good news for this Swiss team is an extension of contracts with Roger Gerber, as well as with a popular Finnish defender Vesa Punkari. The other crucial team members are the Swedish defender, Olle Thorsell, or the best shooter of the world championships in 2006, Adrian Zimmermann. Also the Italian sharp-shooter from Basel Magic, Fabio Mutti will join the offensive lines in coming season. At the beginning of 2006 there were rumors of possible participation Tomas Sladky in Wiler. However, finally the intended transfer didn’t come true and the Czech forward remained in Vitkovice. At the Czech Open, Wiler has a favorable balance. It always reached the semifinals during the last two periods. In 2005, it lost to Dalen in the finals, last year it was defeated by the Finnish Espoon Oilers in the semifinals. |
