Elite. A: Ritten has to go to the Italian champions – Pustertal in Corvara

When the Elite.A Championship enters its 38th round on Thursday, the three South Tyrolean teams have big plans. The Rittner would like to impress the reigning Italian champions in Asiago and continue their winning streak in order to be able to finish the basic round of the Elite.A championship in first place. With five laps to go, the leader from the South Tyrolean plateau leads the table with a lead of ten points over his pursuers. Thursday's match is the second of the week for the club from the province of Vicenza. On Tuesday, the Parco team prevailed in the catch-up game against Cortina. The “Buam”, who have celebrated three wins against Asiago in the current championship (the last one on January 21st with 5:3), will have to go to work on Thursday without Rampazzo and Alber.

Wolves in Corvara against Cortina

The match between veteran Cortina and the Wolves will take place on Thursday in Val Badia. The Olympic Stadium in Cortina had to be closed for security reasons. The reason for the postponement is the heavy snowfall, which has led to a large blanket of snow on the roof of the Olympic Stadium in Cortina and to the closure of the ice rink since Sunday. The old master already played the supplementary game against Asiago in Corvara on Tuesday and lost with 2:4 goals. “As it is an unfamiliar stadium for many, it will definitely be a strange feeling to play in Corvara. However, this is irrelevant after the warm-up training at the latest. We want to continue our winning streak and get in even better shape,” said Christian Borgatello. Scandella, Tauber and Erlacher are missing from the yellow-blacks on Thursday, while Zandonella is missing from the “home team”.

Broncos welcome Vipiteno

After 36 days and nine defeats in a row, the Broncos put an end to the negative streak last Saturday. On Thursday, however, coach Axel Kammerer's boys will face a difficult test. Milan, the currently strongest team in the league, will be playing in the Weihenstephan Arena. The Broncos haven't won at home since January 5th (when they beat Fassa). The Wipptalers will be without Christ Knowlton on Thursday (shoulder injury). It is still uncertain whether Erat and Kofler will return to the ice.
