Career
Tragust began to play ice hockey in Latsch, Italy, until he was eleven years old. Afterwards, he played for Meran. In 2003, he debuted in the First Rate (at Lloyd's) series, the premier ice hockey league in Italy, where in his first game he recorded a 6-0 shutout.
He led the team to two national championships.
In 2005, he played for Italy at the IIHF World U-20 Hockey Championship in Division I. He was the backup to Jason Muzzatti at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. At the Olympics, Tragust got his break in the final game, when they were risking demotion to Group B. Italy was down 3-0 to Slovenia, when head coach Mickey Goulet pulled veteran Muzzatti, in favour of Tragust, who ended up tying the game.
After Tragust left Meran, the team dropped to the second division. He was the starting goalie for the Texas Tornado.
Having attended development camp with the Buffalo Sabres, he is seeking to further his professional career, possibly playing in the National Hockey League. He returned to his Native Italy to play for The Human Context Fassa.
