Serie A: The Wolves defend their building and their lead in the table

Wolves Fiat Professional Pustertal – HC Bozen 2:1 (0:1, 2:0, 0:0) Wolves Fiat Professional Pustertal: Jean Sebastien Aubin (Philipp Kosta), Sean Seabrook, Armin Helfer, Christian Mair, Armin Hofer, Christian Willeit, Daniel Glira, Danny Elliscasis; Max Oberrauch, Pat Kavanagh, Pat Iannone, Joe Cullen, Patrick Bona, Joe Jensen, Lukas Crepaz, Lukas Tauber, Viktor Schweitzer, Benno Obermair, Felix Haidacher, Alex Obermair; Coach: Paul Adey

HC Bolzano: Günther Hell (Massimo Camin); Alexander Egger, Daniel Fabris, Christian Borgatello, Andrea Ambrosi, Andrea Gorza; Mark McCutcheon, MacGregor Sharp, Ryan Flynn, Anton Bernard, Markus Gander, Marco Insam, Enrico Dorigatti, Stefan Zisser, Christian Walcher, Peter Wunderer, Federico Gilmozzi, Stefano Piva; Coach: Brian McCutcheon

Gates: 0:1 Christian Borgatello (3.50), 1:1 Armin Helfer (26.08), 2:1 Max Oberrauch (37.59)

In the 167th derby between the Wolves and the Foxes, the home side had to give way to Thomas Erlacher, while the Bolzano team strengthened their roster with defender Andrea Gorza from the Pergine farm team. The Wolves had more of the game in the early stages, but the Foxes were smarter and took the lead through Christian Borgatello after less than four minutes. After that there were a lot of time penalties. This of course influenced the match with advantages for the team that played with one more man. But nothing quantifiable came of it. After the first break, the Adey team got going better. After opportunities for Tauber and Kavanagh, Armin Helfer equalized (26.08). But things got even better for the loud supporters of the yellow-blacks, because shortly before the end of the middle third, Max Oberrauch increased the score to 2-1 for the home team. Previously, Jean Sebastien Aubin had excelled at a chance for Mark McCutcheon. In the third third, the Wolves pressed for the decisive third goal, while Bozen shifted to counterattacking. But the Talferstädter's tactics didn't work - last year's finalist's narrow victory remained against the champions. The Pusterers have four wins after as many games and are therefore safely leading the table.

Hafro Cortina – Ritten Sport Renault Trucks 2:4 (0:1, 2:1, 0:2)

Hafro Cortina: JP Levasseur (Renè Baur); Darrell Hay, Paul Albers, Luca Zandonella, Michele Zanatta, Gabriele Moretti; Derek Edwardson, Stanislav Gron, Matt Siddall, Giorgio De Bettin, Luca Felicetti, Ryan Dingle, Francesco Adami, Christian Menardi, Andrea Moser, Denis Soravia Coach: Clayton Beddoes

Ritten Sport Renault Trucks: Justin Pogge (Josef Niederstätter); Kevin Mitchell, TJ Kemp, Ingemar Gruber, Fabian Hackhofer, Markus Hafner, Ruben Rampazzo, Klaus Ploner; Dan Tudin, Ryan Ramsay, Greg Jacina, Alex Frei, Domenico Perna, Emanuel Scelfo, Rence Coassin, Lorenz Daccordo, Matteo Rasom, Alexander Eisath, Thomas Spinell Coach: Rob Wilson

Gates: 0:1 Alex Frei (6.45), 1:1 Giorgio De Bettin (28.57), 1:2 Ryan Ramsay (35.46), 2:2 Darrell Hay (37.38), 2:3 Ryan Ramsay (55.25), 2:4 Ingemar Gruber (56.01)

There were no surprises – as far as the lineups were concerned – between Cortina and Ritten. Luca Zanatta was missing from the home side and Matthias Fauster had to provide the “Buam”. The game itself was action-packed right from the start, with advantages for Wilson's team. In fact, Ritten took the lead after 6.45 minutes through Alex Frei. After the first break, Cortina got going better. Justin Pogge in the visitors' box distinguished himself several times, but with Cortina being twice as numerous, he was unable to do anything against Giorgio De Bettin's equalizer (28.57). Four minutes before the end of the second period, Ryan Ramsay put the South Tyrolean club back in front, but Darrell Hay ensured that the score was 2-2 before the final third. With a double strike within 36 seconds, Ramsay (on the power play) and Ingemar Gruber put Ritten Sport on the road to victory in the third period. Cortina tried hard, but it was still a “threesome” for Wilson and his team.

Pontebba was able to play fully, while David Liffiton got fit again in time for Milan. The defender had hip problems after the Alleghe game. The match began with a sampling phase. After just under ten minutes, Milan's captain Tommaso Migliore unexpectedly made it 1-0 for the guests. But the joy only lasted 37 seconds when the bell rang at Raycroft: Federico Demetz made it 1-1 with his second goal of the season. In the middle third, Pontebba needed less than 30 seconds to close the bag early. Rok Pajic made it 24.48-2 after 1 minutes before Odoni gave the Milan keeper the third goal. Now Coach Da Rin pulled the emergency brake and called a time-out. But the timeout didn't do much good, as in the 35th minute Pajic increased the score to 4-1 with his second goal of the evening. Manuel Lo Presti reduced the score to 4-2 just seven minutes before the end, but that was no longer possible for the Lombards, who tried to use the crowbar in the final phase. The club from Friuli celebrated its first win of the season.

Thomas Dantone and Cristian Castlunger were missing from Fassa, while Gabriel Lang from Farm Team Val Gardena played. Valpellice also suffered two losses, with Tomko and Anthony Aquino absent. In the first third, Di Casmirro caused the biggest upset with a shot against the post. After the break, the home side put a lot of pressure on and Martin Castlunger scored the advantage to make it 1-0. In the third period, Margoni increased the lead to 2-0 before Johnson immediately scored the next goal. But Chelodi and Marchetti ensured with Fassa's third and fourth goals that the Ladins retained the three points.

Migross Supermercati - Alleghe Tegola Canadese 4:3 nP (1:2, 0:1, 1:1, 0:0)

Migross Supermercati Asiago: Josh Tordjman (Alessandro Tura), Daniel Sullivan, Enrico Miglioranzi, Michele Strazzabosco, Andrea Strazzabosco, Nicola Tessari, Dave Borrelli, Mirko Presti, Luca Rigoni, Matteo Tessari, Michele Stevan, Layne Ulmer, Sean Bentivoglio, Federico Benetti, Chris Di Domenico, Paul Zanette, Jose Magnabosco; Coach: John Parco

Alleghe Tegola Canadese: Alleghe Tegola Canadese: Adam Dennis (Davide Fontanive), Francesco De Biasio, Matt Waddell, Carlo Lorenzi, Nicholas Kuiper, Luka Tosic, Kewin Adami, Milos Ganz; Jeff Lo Vecchio, Gino Guyer, Nicola Fontanive, Vince Rocco, Manuel De Toni, Manuel Da Tos, Jari Monferone, Davide Testori, Patrick Tormen; Coach: Tom Pokel

With the absences of Andrea Strazzabosco, Davide Nicoletti and Stefano Marchetti, Asiago was in the last hole in defense. Veggiato was missing from Alleghe due to muscular problems. The home team started strong with Mirko Presti, who hit the puck on the crossbar. On the other hand, Alleghe did better than Jeff Lo Vecchio after a great assist from Vince Rocco. It was also Rocco who made it 2-0 for the guests before the third siren. Three seconds before the end of the starting third there was even a third goal, but this time for the home team. Chris Di Domenico made perfect use of a numerical advantage situation and ensured that Asiago had hope again. In the second half of the game, the club from Veneto had good opportunities to equalize. But in the 39th minute, Lo Vecchio set the ball up nicely for Gino Guyer, who beat Tordjman for the third time that evening. After the break, things remained exciting. First, Ulmer reduced the score to 47:3 in the 2th minute. And with 15 seconds left, Strazzabosco made it 3-3, ensuring that the match lasted a little longer. Asiago had taken goalkeeper Tordjman off the ice.
