The Serie A championship begins on Thursday

Supermercati Migross Asiago - Fiat Professional Wolves

One of the most interesting matches of the first matchday takes place in the Odegar Stadium, as the home team welcomes the Wolves. This is the new edition of the quarter-finals of the previous year and the final of the 2010/11 season. Both teams obviously want to establish themselves in the top half of the table right from the start. Asiago, which defeated Pontebba in the last preparatory game, will have to do without Stefano Marchetti and Nicoletti in defense, while the high plateau will hope that the association can tesserate Dan Sullivan before the first matchday. Long-term injured Thomas Erlacher is missing from the South Tyrolean team, while Pat Cavanagh will make his debut for the Puster team.

Ritten Sport Renault Trucks-Aquile FVG Pontebba

In Klobenstein, Ritten Sport Renault Trucks, one of the championship favorites, welcomes the club from Pontebba. Many ice hockey experts will be looking with excitement at the Ritten Arena and the performance of the home team, who, with the exception of Matthias Fauster, have the best line-up. The Friuli club, however, is missing the Italian-American attacker Ryan Watson, who is not expected in Pontebba until next Monday.

HC Bozen – Alleghe Tegola Canadese

One of the classics of Italian ice hockey takes place in the ice wave. The champion and newly crowned Supercup winner from Bolzano welcomes Alleghe. The guests arrive with a squad that is very strong in every position, while the Talferstadt team will draw a lot of self-confidence from winning their first title of the new season. Bozen's coach McCutcheon can rely on the squad that was already successful in Cortina, while at Alleghe the injured defender Mac Monagle will be out and the Slovenian defender Luka Tosic will wear the uniform of his new employer for the first time.

Hafro Cortina – Fassa Ferrarini Just two days after the Supercup final against HC Bozen (which the Foxes won in a penalty shootout), Cortina's next home game is coming up. This time the Ampezzans will face Fassa, who will be playing with a completely renewed and very young squad. The Czech Jan Novak will make his debut for the Ladin team. The defender has already trained in Val di Fassa. Luca Zanatta will be missing from the hosts.

Valpellice Bodino Engineering – Milano Rossoblu

Milan will make its comeback in Serie A in Piedmont. The Lombards will meet Valpellice Bodino Engineering in the Valmora Arena Cotta Morandini. The hosts want to take advantage of the home advantage, but are up against a club from the Lombardy metropolis that is highly motivated and who of course want to sell their skin as expensively as possible when they return to the upper house. Nicolao will be missing from Valpellice, while Canale's appearance is very questionable. Betti is unlikely to be involved in Milan. The two defenders Marvin Degon (USA) and David Liffiton (Canada) may make their debut in Milan's uniform.
