Overtime | Vipiteno's sorcerers and Rittner's fair game

The rising star Jakob Rabanser (Wipptal Broncos | AlpsHL) In the foreseeable future, Jakob Rabanser should become the undisputed number 1 in goal for the Wipptal Broncos. The 20-year-old, 2-meter giant is considered a huge talent in the Wipptal and is fueling the hope that a homegrown player will shape a goalkeeper era in the Fugger city for the first time in years. In this young season, Rabanser repeatedly indicates that he has what it takes to become a regular goalie in the Alps Hockey League. But he has rarely been seen as strong as he was on Saturday in Vipiteno. The youngster showed a fantastic performance against HC Pustertal, defusing 46 of 48 shots - a rate of almost 96 percent. So it's no surprise that Rabanser was named MVP at the end of the game. The young goalie had already flashed his potential last year when he was thrown into the deep end of the Alps Hockey League after the then regular goalkeeper Jason Bacashihua's shaky performance and cut a good figure in the 8 games. The Wipptal Broncos' goal is to give Rabanser more ice time this year - which is why Legionnaires goalie Jonathan Reinhart is not necessarily the regular goalie. This is also shown by the fact that Rabanser was given preference over the Canadian on Saturday and was able to promptly repay this trust. If the young Wipptaler continues like he did against Pustertal, he will probably become the new number 1 faster than expected. In any case, today Rabanser is the newcomer of the week. The relegated one The Rittner Buam (AlpsHL) Things are not yet going as planned for the Rittner Buam. In the Return2Play phase, the completely renewed and, above all, greatly rejuvenated team has only scored one point so far. Last Saturday there was also a historic defeat: the Buam suffered a 2-7 defeat against Salzburg's strong second team. In the 205 Alps Hockey League games, the Rittners have never lost so much. One reason for the defeat is the tense personnel situation at Ritten: with captain Dan Tudin, Radovan Gabri, Stefan Quinz, Philipp Pechlaner and Kevin Fink, five important players were missing on Saturday. When Salzburg was ahead 5-5 after just 2 minutes, the young team from Klobenstein found it twice as difficult. In the end the result was 0:2 - and Ritten needs a little ice hockey miracle in the second leg on Thursday to still get points.
