Serie A resumes play – three derbies

WSV Vipiteno – HC Gherdeina The most exciting duel of the 15th round is taking place in the Weihenstephan Arena. The Broncos are up against HC Gherdeina, who are two places ahead of the Wipptal team in the table. While the Ladins have been able to convince so far this season, Jason Walters should finally ensure the necessary continuity at Vipiteno. However, the Canadian newcomer still has to sit out on Thursday, as does Justin Maylan on the Val Gardena side.

Ritten Sport -HC Eppan

Can the Pirates stop Buam's upward trend? The Überetscher's mission seems - to put it optimistically - very difficult, because the champions are not only undefeated for five games, but on top of that they have further strengthened their squad during the international break. The new acquisitions Joe Motzko and Eric Lampe could make their debut in the Rittner dress on Thursday, but then Coach Raymond would have to send two other cracks into the stands as surplus foreigners. Eppan does not have this luxury problem, on the contrary: the HCE is still looking for a replacement for the departed Miroslav Guren.

HC Pustertal -SV Kaltern

HC Pustertal has taken a position directly behind league leader Ritten. The Wolves are waiting for a misstep to get within three points of their local rivals. However, they first have to live up to their role as favorites in the home game against Kaltern. And this without the suspended Thomas Erlacher. The Hechte have to make do without new signing Kevin Montgomery, who has not yet played, but they can rely on increased self-confidence. In the most recent championship phase, their form curve showed a clear upward trend.

Milano Rossoblu -HC Neumarkt HC Neumarkt, who will be visiting the Milan cauldron on Thursday, is faced with a truly mammoth task. The Wildgänse should definitely score points in order to stay close to their neighbors Eppan, but the task against the third-placed team will probably prove to be extremely difficult. It is still unclear whether Alex Berry will be available again for the HCN in Milan or whether he will only be able to play again on Saturday. Regardless of this, the club management is still looking for a new coach.
