Puster's ups and downs continue - Val Gardena ends the crisis

ride won against EC Kitzbühel 522-3 in front of 1 spectators in Klobenstein. With this victory, the seventh in the eighth league game, the Rittners climb back to the top of the table, closely followed by the Slovenian clubs Jesenice and Ljubljana.

All other local clubs can only dream of the Ritten mountain air - especially this one HC Pustertal . The wolves still just can't get going. The home win against Salzburg was followed by another setback with the bitter 1:2 against league laggards. 18-year-old Simon Berger's AHL debut goal wasn't enough to avert the home defeat or even remotely satisfy the 800 spectators in the Rienzstadion.

Also the WSV Vipiteno and the HC Neumarkt suffered a 1-2 defeat at home. After five wins in a row, the Broncos gave way to VEU Feldkirch. The Wild Goose, however, lost out against Zell am See. Ondrej Nedved's goal in the final seconds came too late to initiate a successful comeback. While Neumarkt remains stuck in the bottom of the table, he landed HC Val Gardena the long-awaited liberation. Just a few hours after Patrice Lefebvre replaced Gilbert Lee as coach, the Ladin team defeated bottom side Klagenfurt 5-3 away. They ended a five-game losing streak.
