Adnkronos (Adnkronos) – “I arrived on Sunday, I played my first game on Sunday, but I think we have a great team: so far they've had excellent results away from home, and now we have to ride this wave of enthusiasm and try to do well here at home, too, in front of our fans.” This was stated by Diego Kostner, player for Milano Hockey Club, during a press tour of the Fiera Ice Arena, the new ice sports facility built by Fondazione Fiera Milano in preparation for the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. This evening, the stadium will host the match between Milano Hockey Club and Hockey Club Innsbruck, valid for the ninth round of the Ice Hockey League.
"I think it's very important for Italian hockey to have a team here in Milan," Kostner added. "The enthusiasm is very high and always has been. Even when I was young, you could always see the stadium full of fans, and having a professional team in a city like Milan will certainly be a plus for the growth of hockey in Italy."
