Otmar Frick

"Liechtensteiner heart throb Otmar Frick ('The Rugged Man of Ruggell') was the game's top scorer."
-- match report USA v Liechtenstein, Daily Prophet, 8 June 2014 (Pm)

Otmar Frick

Otmar Frick was a Chaser for the Liechtenstein National Team at the 2014 Quidditch World Cup.

The popular and good-looking Frick was a participant in the Quidditch World Cup 2014 tournament after his team qualified with a shock win over China (Pm).

He fell asleep on his broom during the three-day grueling match against Chad, but was the top scorer of the quarter-final match against the USA with sixteen goals to his name (Pm).

Other canon notes and references

Since Viktor Krum, born 1976, was the oldest player at the tournament (Pm), Frick must have been born after 1976.

After the USA match, the Liechtenstein team mascot, Hans the Augurey, was kidnapped by some American fans, sparking an international incident requiring the intervention of their respective Ministers for Magic (Pm).
