Elite. A: Derby time in Sterzing – Ritten welcomes Valpe

The local ice hockey scene is traditionally busy between Christmas and New Year's Day. This is also the case this year, when there will be an explosive duel between Vipiteno and Pustertal on St. Stephen's Day at 19.30 p.m. However, this is under completely different circumstances: While the Broncos have suffered a total of eight defeats in a row since November 9th, Oly Hicks' team (he moved from Vipiteno to Bruneck in the summer) is traveling to the Wipptal with a big chest. She recently scored points against Asiago and Fassa and only conceded one goal. However, the Wolves will have to make do in the Weihenstephan Arena without Erlacher, Tauber and Scandella, who is out of action due to a groin injury. Meanwhile, Vipiteno can take full advantage.

Ritten is burning for compensation

The dethroned leaders from Klobenstein spoiled their Christmas with a 3:6 defeat on Monday - especially since they were still in the lead 3:1 in the Olympic Stadium. Now the “Buam” want to take revenge with a home win against Valpellice, but have to do without goalkeeper Chris Mason, who traveled to the Spengler Cup in Davos with Team Canada. The Piedmontese were even 3-0 up in Milan on the last match day Lead, but ended up losing 3:4. Valpe will also try to make up for the slip-up on Thursday. There will be excitement in the Ritten Arena.

The 21st round of the championship will be completed with Cortina's home game against leaders Asiago, as well as the duel between Fassa and Milan. The puck drop in Alba di Canazei does not take place until 21 p.m.
