BundesYoung talent trainer Künast is pleased about the willingness of the DEL2 clubs to take part in the U20 Future Challenge. “It’s important for us to have games at a high level. I think that these games will help us move forward and I'm glad that we have the opportunity to compete against the DEL2 clubs."
