Giacinto "Jim" Boni (born June 4, 1963 in Supino ) is a former Italo - Canadian ice hockey player and coach and functionary. From 2009 to 2014 he was the sports director of ERC Ingolstadt from the German Ice Hockey League . Most recently he was active in the Erste Bank Ice Hockey League as a coach for the Vienna Capitals .
Career
As a player, Jim Boni was a defender and played around 300 competitive games at various clubs (including HC Bozen , HC Courmaosta ) in the Italian A1 series . He ended his active career in 1998 at EC Atlantis Ulm / Neu-Ulm and then trained with ERC Ingolstadt .
In 2003 he moved to the Vienna Capitals , with whom he won the Austrian championship title in the 2004/05 season . After relegation at the home world championship in 2005 under Herbert Pöck , Boni also took over the coaching position in the national team. At the Ice Hockey World Championship 2006 (Division I, Group B) he succeeded with five wins in five games of promotion to Group A. However, the team missed relegation at the Ice Hockey World Championship 2007 , so bonuses resigned from his post. In December 2006, Boni and the Capitals announced that the contract for the 2007/08 season would no longer be renewed. In March 2007 Jim Boni signed a contract with Black Wings Linz . As in the national team, his assistant coach was Rick Nasheim .
For the 2009/10 season , Boni returned to ERC Ingolstadt - now in the role of sports director. In this role, he put together a new team that played in the European Trophy in the two seasons 2012-2014. Immediately after his departure, the team achieved the greatest success in the club's history with the German ice hockey championship.
Shortly before the playoffs of the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga season 2014/15, Jim Boni was brought back to the Vienna Capitals as coach, as Tom Pokel had been dismissed as coach shortly before. Bonuses led the team to the playoff final, where they lost to Salzburg. After elimination in the playoff quarter-finals in the 2015/16 season, Boni left the Capitals.
Miran scrap
In January 1992 - he was then the captain of HC Courmaosta - Boni was involved in a tussle with 19-year-old Miran Schrott von Gardena in the game against HC Gardena . After a slap of scrap in the face of Boni, Boni hit the cane in the chest of Scrap. Junk fell to the floor, passed out, and went into cardiac arrest. The rushing ambulance began resuscitation measures and scrap was then transferred to the hospital in Chamonix , where he died shortly afterwards.
During the autopsy, it was found that Boni's sticking, along with pre-existing cardiological problems from scrap, led to his death. The Italian public prosecutor charged Boni with accidental homicide / bodily harm resulting in death, which would have been punishable by between 10 and 18 years in prison under Italian law at the time. Boni was eventually sentenced to one year probation for negligent homicide. A proposed civil case was later dropped by Miran Schrott's family.
