A strong year

That was certainly one of the most emotional moments of my career. I still get goosebumps when I think about it," says ice hockey export Benjamin Baumgartner, his eyes sparkling as he thinks back to this year's World Championships in the Czech Republic.
His decisive goal against Finland milliseconds before the final buzzer is not the only thing that gets the cellist's pulse racing. "The whole World Championship was a highlight - we overcame a 1:6 deficit against Canada in the final period, and the other games were good too. It was only in the last one that things didn't work out so well."
It's going well, I'm playing a good role and I'm now also allowed to play in the first powerplay formation. I want to be the number one two-way center in Bern

"It's going well, I'm playing a good role and I'm now also allowed to play in the first powerplay formation. I want to become the number one two-way center in Bern," he says, continuing to focus on his development.
"Benny" also has big plans for the new year with red-white-red: "The World Championship in Stockholm will certainly be sensational, I hope we can play like this again!" This time he also wants to perform in his home country when Austria meets Germany again in the mountain town on April 24.
