New Challenge, Added Motivation says new Steeler Angelo Miceli
Aaron Fox has added his first new import signing of the summer with the addition of forward Angelo Miceli
Miceli has played the last seven seasons in Bolzano, a town he now calls home. Angelo has won a championship, played in the CHL and also for the Italian National team, now however, it’s time for a change.
“It’s time for a change” he said “I think both Bolzano and I realised that after 7 years, we have enjoyed great times together, great experiences and the City has become my home. I have spoken with Aaron for a few summers now but always went back to Bolzano because it was comfortable, because it was the easy thing to do. This summer we both decided that the time had come, and I don’t think I have ever been so motivated for a season ahead.
“It will be only my second club in Europe, and it is an exciting challenge. I want to prove myself again to new people, the coaches, my new teammates and of course the supporters of the team.
“I played with Daniel Ciampini in Bolzano, I took reference from him and after 10 minutes on the phone I was ready to sign, I can’t wait to skate out in front of all of those fans, I have seen the pictures and the videos and it excites me.
“The team Aaron has built over the years also excites me and to be a part of that group in defending the three titles won last year and the challenge of the CHL is something I can’t wait for”
Head Coach Aaron Fox said “Angelo is a high energy forward that can play all 3 forward positions.
“He has played in both powerplay and penalty kill situations in Bolzano and has put up really solid numbers in the ICEHL during his time there.
“Angelo is patient on the puck and will get to the hard areas and skates well. I love his skill set and he will bring high character and experience to the group”.
