The Rittner Buam are prepared for the Continental Cup

Even if the competition is fierce, the Rittner Buam are aware of their own strengths and are once again relying on home advantage. “It is a great honor to be able to host the Continental Cup again. This shows that we have worked well over the years and that we have international trust. We are ready and looking forward to this semi-final with confidence,” said President Thomas Rottensteiner.

"We have to win two games"

In fact, the Buam have further strengthened their team. With the Canadian defender Bretton Stamler and the US attacker Kyle Jean, who celebrated their AHL debut yesterday in Brunico, the Rittners signed two top players. “Stamler and Jean are two strong players who will certainly prove their qualities at the weekend. It will be very important to start the tournament well. We have to win two games to reach the final,” said sports director Adolf Insam.

Ritten will always play its games at prime time, i.e. in the evening at 20 p.m. On Friday there will be games against Grenoble Bruleurs de Loups, on Saturday and Sunday there will be games against Nomad Astana and Jegesmedvek Miskolc. “Three great days of ice hockey await us, where we will see our sport at an international level. Ritten appears here not just as a club, but as the entire nation,” said FISG President Andrea Gios. Also present were his deputy Reinhard Zublassing, the ice hockey boss in the association, Tommaso Teofoli, league president Marcello Cobelli, the president of the South Tyrolean ice hockey association, Christian Trettl and the Rittner sports assessor Alfred Vigl.
