Italian Cup: The four finalists are ready

Alleghe Tegola Canadese – Ritten Sport Renault Trucks On Saturday afternoon, Alleghe and the Rittner Buam are the first two teams fighting for tickets to the final on Sunday. Alleghe finished the basic round of the championship in fourth place, Ritten took third place. “It will be a very difficult game. We have always had a hard time against Ritten this season. We're not favorites, but if we play compactly and as a team, then we could have a say. The atmosphere in the team is very good and we have the strongest goalkeeper in the entire league (Adam Dennis, editor's note)," says Alleghe's captain Manuel De Toni. Ritten already won the cup in the 2009/10 season and would like to bring this title back to the high plateau. “We are ready for this difficult task. Hopefully Dan Tudin will return to the team, he is very, very important for our team,” explains Ritten defender Ingemar Gruber. As far as the squad is concerned, Alleghe can play fully. Alex Frei, Alexander Eisath and Ryan Ramsay will be missing from the South Tyrolean club. As mentioned, the Rittners will be worried right up until the end about the use of Dan Tudin, who has been laid low by flu since Thursday.

HC Valpellice Bodino Engineering – Wolves Fiat Professional It is also very difficult to predict the outcome of the second semi-final. Valpellice plays in front of its own audience and wants to reach the final, something the Piedmontese team failed to do in the ice wave against HC Bozen in the 2006/07 season. “We have a great responsibility to bear because the club has done everything so that we can win this title. We play to win the trophy. But we have to be very disciplined. Pustertal is a very strong team, but the boys in our ranks are also very talented. It will be a great match,” says Valpellice captain Trevor Johnson. His counterpart at Wolves Fiat Professional, Armin Helfer, says: “We will have to fight and give everything, but we are ready for it. We will all try to be the best we can be. What will be the key to success? Definitely avoiding penalties, playing better in the power play and taking control. We hope that Jean Sebastien Aubin and Ben Guitè will return to the team.” The two top performers are questionable, alongside the two injured Patrick Bona (for whom the season is over) and Benno Obermair, who will certainly be missing. Defender Paul Baier will not be there at Valpellice.
