And the Nuremberg team have also found a successor for Tom Rowe as head coach. The Canadian Mitch O’ Keefe (39) comes from Innsbruck. The contract is signed. During his playing days he was a successful goalkeeper, played two games in the AHL for the Iowa Stars and came to Europe in 2010. There he played for HK Jesenice. He finally ended his career in France at HC Amiens Somme. He has been head coach in Innsbruck since the 2020/2021 season. Before that, the Canadian worked as a goalkeeping coach. In the Champions Hockey League, his team sensationally qualified for the round of 16 with three wins and one defeat. This season, however, he missed the play-offs with Innsbruck. Immediately after leaving, he declared: “I’m not coming back,” as the “Kronen Zeitung” reported. Innsbruck also made O’ Keefe an offer, but he chose the DEL and Nuremberg. Other clubs were also interested in O’Keefe. Together with sports director Stefan Ustorf, he will now work on a high-performance team for the coming season.
