Head Coach Manny Viveiros

"There's no weak team in this league. We respect every team. Throughout the season, our goal was to continuously improve, and now we believe we're in good form for the playoffs. There isn't one specific reason why we chose Pustertal. We have great respect for Pustertal, but we also have great confidence in our own game. It will be an exciting series."
