Tough but warm: the Alpine volcano turns 75. Zach was the first qualified coach in ice hockey.

After his last engagement, he went back into the calmer waters of Mannheim. Zach is a kind-hearted and incredible, funny, sociable person and a gifted storyteller. He once emptied a water bottle over the burning stub in the face of a spectator who was puffing on a cigar in the seat behind Zach. The Tölz ice hockey legend is celebrating his 75th birthday this Saturday in Gran Canaria.
