PHT AUSTRIA
THE WAIT IS OVER…
ProHybrid Training is excited to announce we have expanded our scope of elite goalie training to Europe. This expansion is based on the popularity of our Goaltending DVD Series overseas. The first satellite of PHT Euro is based out of Vienna, Austria. Mario Adamek has been named the Director of Goalie Development. Christoph Zeugswetter is the Director of Player Development and Off Ice Training.
Mario and Christoph visited Minneapolis MN to complete an extensive training program with founder of ProHybrid Training, Zach Sikich. Both Mario and Chrisoph got hands on experience with Zach through a wide range of ProHybrid Training sessions including private lessons, team consulting, off ice goalie specific workouts, off ice seminars and camps. Both Mario and Christoph gained a thorough understanding of the ProHybrid Goaltending System through their in depth work with Zach in the United States.
“Mario has a tremendous passion for teaching the position of goaltending. His professional playing experience coupled with his ability to simply communicate complex subjects to goaltenders makes Mario an awesome asset to both ProHybrid Training as well as European goaltenders.”

PHT AUSTRIA UPDATE
Since launching ProHybrid Training in Europe in April 2009, ProHybrid Euro has established itself in the Austrian and German hockey scene.
Goalie Development Update
Mario Adamek, Director of Goalie Development, is proud to announce that two of his clients, Rudolf Hummel and Lucas Haberhofer, have signed contracts with the Vienna Capitals of the Austrian professional hockey league, EBEL.
Rudi Hummel trained extensively on and off the ice with Mario Adamek and ProHybrid Euro to prepare for tryouts in Boston, MA. Rudolf's hard work and training paid off. He received offers by multiple US youth teams and colleges, but decided to accept a great offer by the Vienna Capitals of Vienna, Austria. This is Hummels first professional contract.
Lucas Haberhofer's summer of intense training with Mario Adamek & ProHybrid Euro also paid off. The Vienna Capitals offered him a contract which Haberhofer gladly accepted. He is now in the Capitals system as a backup and training regularly with the team.
Mario Adamek is also working exclusively with three goalies from the Austrian Woman's senior and U18 national squad. Theri Hornich is the starting goaltender for the EHC Sabres, Vienna's women's hockey club and goaltender for Austria's national selection. Paula Marchart and Nicole Arnberger are both goaltenders for Austria's U18 team.

Off-Ice & Player Development Update
In the Off-Ice and Player Development sector, ProHybrid Euro was hired by the local Vienna Junior Capitals to prepare all teams from U15 to U20 for the upcoming season. Based on a set of medical tests Christoph Zeugswetter, Director of Player Development and Off-Ice Training, designed specific and extensive training programs to prepare the young athletes for the tough season ahead. Within the three months of preparation huge improvements in strength, endurance and agility could be seen at all age levels.

More Big Deals in the Works...
ProHybrid Euro is proud to announce that a partnership with the Vienna Capitals of the Austrian professional League, EBEL is in the works. During October, Mario Adamek will work with the team's goalies on a regular basis.
"After preparing Rudolf Hummel and Lucas Haberhofer, two of the Capitals' goalies, over the summer, Martin Satorina (Asst. Coach, Vienna Capitals) and I talked about a possible cooperation. The Capitals decided to hire me in order to work with their goalies over the course of October. After this period of time we'll decide if we will deepen our cooperation and if I will act as the official Goalie Consultant of the Vienna Capitals."
