The HCP players can book their vacation. After the fourth defeat in the fourth semi-final game against Asiago, the Wolves' season is over. Coach Paul Adey pulled out all the trump cards and had Rok Pajic replace Pat Kavanagh in the away game in Veneto. Danny Elliscasis was unavailable for the final away game of the season. The home side were able to use all squad players as captain Dave Borrelli has officially been an Italian citizen since Wednesday. In the well-filled Odegar Stadium, Asiago tried to take control of the game from the start, but Pustertal held on bravely and was able to repeatedly provide dangerous relief attacks. This was also the case in the tenth minute of the game when Christian Mair had a goal disallowed for entering the goal area. The evaluation of chances was the Bruneck team's only deficit in the first half, as they missed three power play situations. After the first break, Asiago picked up the pace, but once again the HCP failed to take the lead. Joe Jensen failed to successfully complete a counterattack. A short time later, goal celebrations echoed through the stadium for the first time, but Dave Borelli's shot hit the post, to the horror of many. After 33.53:18.05 the time had come: Chris DiDomenico shot the disc into the top corner after a solo through the visitors' backline. The Wolves tried to defend themselves, but after 2:0 minutes goalie Aubin had to reach behind himself again when Layne Ulmer grabbed the puck in the neutral zone and made it 3-0. In the first minute of the final third, Asiago captain Borrello dealt the Pusterer the knockout blow, making it XNUMX-XNUMX. From then on, the Parco team dominated at will, only an action by Willeit caused a hint of danger. At the latest after the fourth goal conceded, helpers and co. stopped their resistance. Borelli was once again credited with the goal. However, things got even tougher for HC Pustertal, because in the final minutes Matteo Tessari and again neo-Italian Borelli drove the result up further. The latter was named player of the game, not least because of his three goals.

With a hard-fought away win in Cortina, Valpellice earned their first “match puck” and can win in front of their home team on Saturday. Luca Zandonella had to pass for the hosts, while Valpellice started the away trip to Belluno without Paolo Nicolao. Paul Baier was given preference over Jaroslav Spelda. The first third had few thrilling scenes in front of the two goals. Valpellice took advantage of two of the few dangerous scenes to take a 2-0 lead. After almost three minutes, Cortina player Luca Felicetti carelessly gave the puck away while in the majority, Brian Ihnacak gratefully accepted the gift and gave goalkeeper Levasseur the disadvantage in a one-on-one. Cortina held on from then on, but rarely created any real chances to score. It was the guests who scored for the second time with Ralph Intranuovo. It was only after the break that the Ampezzo team gathered themselves together and began to play forward in a controlled manner. This had an immediate impact on the result, because after 24.02:5 minutes Francesca Adami scored the first goal. However, Valpe was unimpressed and restored the old lead just five minutes later with double goalscorer Ihnacak. However, Cortina was now much more present and created real tension again with the second goal. It was Ryan Dingle who put the puck in the visitors' goal. After the last break, Cortina threw everything forward and was rewarded again. Dingle scored again with a hammer shot. Now there was real fire in the game, because the extremely callous Piedmontese took the lead again a short time later through Brodie Dupont. However, the former master didn't give up and got a well-deserved equalizer through Paul Albers three minutes before the end. However, the ice hockey gods didn't mean well for Cortina that evening, because with a minute and a half left, Valpe striker Nate DiCasmirro made it 4:XNUMX, the final point of this exciting encounter.
