Does anybody know more about this?

Kleine Zeitung also reports it. And "Bild" in Germany too, apparently. We'll have to wait for an official announcement by the Predators, i guess.

There are actually 3 Austrians playing in the Eastern Junior. Former Team Illinois forward Hugo Margoc made the roster of the South Shore Kings.

Nödl + Lange (NCAA), Rotter (OHL), Ulmer (CHL), Holst (BCHL), Divjak + Reinthaler (USHL), Schennach, Woger + Margoc (EJHL), Moderer (AAA), Kames (AA). Seems like Austrian talents invading North-American-"junior"-hockey and the Vanek-seed is spreading!
