It happened pretty quickly: Ice hockey Oberliga club EC Peiting has filled its second contingent position again.

Forward Eetu-Ville Arkiomaa is followed by a defender.

– After the separation from Eetu-Ville Arkiomaa, a contingent position became vacant at EC Peiting.

Now the Oberliga club, which has been on a forced Corona break for almost three weeks, has found what they are looking for.

Czech defender Lukas Motloch will strengthen the team with immediate effect.

Peiting's team manager Gordon Borberg is convinced that the 25-year-old will help the current seventh in the Oberliga Süd:

"We watched a few of his games, Lukas is a good skater and very stable in defense.

Exactly what we need,” says Borberg.

EC Peiting: Personal situation relaxes at the ice hockey league

Lukas Motloch was born in Vsetin, a town with around 30,000 inhabitants in the east of the Czech Republic. He spent his youth there and at HC Trinec, among other places. In the second Czech league he has around 150 games, 36 points and 145 penalty minutes. "I'm happy to be part of EC Peiting and to come to the Gallic village!" Motloch is quoted as saying on the ECP's homepage. The 25-year-old will start training in Peiting this week.

However, the search for new players by those responsible in Peiting does not end with Motloch's signing: "We are still looking around the transfer market and are also looking for reinforcements for the storm," said Borberg.

In addition, the recently injured strikers Simon Maier, Marco Habermann and Daniel Reichert are about to return to the ice.

The personnel situation is becoming increasingly relaxed.
