Milan and Ritten are fighting for the Supercup

Traditionally, the champion and the cup winner from the previous season fight for the Supercup. Milan won the Italian Cup last year, while Ritten beat Asiago in the Serie A final.

The two top teams already faced each other in the 2006 Supercup final, with the Lombards winning 6-2. Dan Tudin scored both goals for “Buam”. The coach in Milan at the time was Adolf Insam (now sports director at the Ritten), and today's Ritten coach Riku Lehtonen and captain Christian Borgatello played in the Lombard defense.

Supercup: 3 to 2 for Milan The “Buam” won the Supercup in 2009 and 2010, while Milan won it in 2001, 2002 and 2006. For the Rittner, Saturday’s final is the seventh Supercup final, the fourth in a row. However, Lehtonen's troops lost the last three finals, and this should change again on Saturday.

The “Buam” are foregoing their transfer card players because Milan also has no foreigners in their squad. Coach Riku Lehtonen will therefore leave both Canadian goalie Patrick Killeen and the two Swedish twins Oscar and Victor Ahlström at home. Instead of Killeen, backup Hannes Tretreibenreif will guard the Rittner box tomorrow. However, who will play in the first line of attack with Simon Kostner from Val Gardena still has to be decided. The match can be followed live on Sportitalia from 19.00 p.m.
