EBEL YoungStar

The EBEL-YoungStar is an award from the Austrian ice hockey league for the best young professional of the month or year. The award has been given since the 2006/07 season . During the season, Sky experts Gary Venner and Kurt Harand nominate five to ten players in the U-22 age group for the election each month , with multiple entries being possible within one season. The fans then have the opportunity to cast their vote.

The monthly winners are nominated at the end of the season for the EBEL YoungStar of the Year election, which is also decided by the fans. These titles have so far Philipp Pinter ( EC Red Bull Salzburg ), John Kirisits , Thomas hundred pounds , Markus Pirmann (all three Klagenfurt AC ), John Hughes ( HDD Olimpija Ljubljana ), Mario Seidl , Patrick Peter (both Vienna Capitals ), Daniel Pastl ( EHC Linz ), Radek Číp and Libor Šulák (both Orli Znojmo ) win.

The winners of the elections will be officially honored in a live broadcast by Sky and will also receive small prizes.
