In addition to intensive training, those responsible at the Black Wings would like the team to come closer together. This is to be promoted by so-called team building units. So on Saturday afternoon, the team all went to disc golf.
In Urfahr there is a swing and disc golf course where targets have to be hit with a frisbee. The game is played on 12 lanes. The conclusion of the afternoon was a joint barbecue with the wives and children of the players, who met each other for the first time in a large group.
In the coming days, the focus will be on sports again. On Thursday from 7 p.m. the first showdown with Olimpija Ljubljana is on the program in the Linz AG Eisarena. The test match against the reigning German champions, Eisbären Berlin, will follow next week. Tickets for all preparatory games are available at https://tickets.blackwings.at/.
