Val Gardena gets reinforcements for the cup final – from Eppan

According to club president Stefan Prinoth, it is still unclear who will play in the red dress of HC Gherdeina. “We will sit down with our coach Ron Ivany today and then decide how many and which players we will borrow from Eppan,” said Prinoth when asked by Sportnews.bz. It is still unclear whether Val Gardena will bring two, three or four foreigners from the “Pirates”.

It is unlikely that Val Gardena will forego the services of Peter Campbell. With 32 goals and 30 assists, the HC Eppan striker is currently in second place in the Serie A2 scoring rankings.

However, it seems almost certain that no goalkeeper will be brought in. Between the posts, HC Gröden relies on its tried and tested forces. “We will most likely play with Florian Großgasteiger and Benjamin Saurer,” explained Prinoth.

Eppan's president Reinhard Zublasing is not afraid that “his” players will get injured wearing Val Gardena's uniform. “I hope that the semi-final against HC Pustertal will be a great spectacle for the fans. And of course that nothing happens to our players.” Should the opposite be the case, his protégés are well insured.

“I am of the opinion that it is important and right that the teams play with fairly equal resources. That's why it was a given that we would help Val Gardena out in this case. It's about the ice hockey product being received as well as possible by the spectators. It wouldn’t make sense if Pustertal just swept the Val Gardena off the ice,” said Zublasing, who still sees the “Wolves” as favorites.
