In the IHL the positions are taken, in the AlpsHL they are not

Despite a defeat on the last day of the match, Varese can call itself the first round winner. The Mastini are three points ahead of Kaltern and Pergine in the final table. The cushion is reduced to one point in the Master Round as the points are divided by three. Varese, Kaltern, Pergine, Toblach and Eppan are therefore only separated by two points.

While these teams want to get their best shot at the playoffs from January 6th to February 25th, the qualifying round is all or nothing for the clubs. Fiemme, Como, Falcons Brixen, Valpellice and Alleghe are fighting for a place in the top three to reach the quarterfinals. Heading into the fifth season, the teams will play a simple round trip round.

Tension in the AlpsHL While the groups in the Italian Hockey League have already been determined, in the Alps Hockey League there are still four match days left until the end of the regular season. Here the view is primarily directed at the Rittner Buam and the EK Zell am See. The two teams have almost the same remaining program, are only separated by one point in fifth and sixth place and are fighting for a place in the Master Round. The home duels against Kitzbühel (Ritten) and Lustenau (Zell am See) are on the program on Wednesday before the big showdown next Tuesday in the Ritten Arena.

For the other South Tyrolean teams it's about getting into position. The recently troubled HC Gherdëina wants to chase away the ghosts with a home win against HC Meran appeared due to Terrance Amorosa's departure to HC Bozen. And keep the Eagles, who are only three points behind, at a distance. Meanwhile, the Wipptal Bronocos are faced with an extremely thankless task. They face league leaders Jesenice at home. As a reminder: The teams ranked 1-5 compete in the Master Round, the rest have to go through the qualifying round.
