Ritten Sport defeated Milan 4-1 on Thursday evening and ended the regular season in third place. In Ritten, Dan Tudin was unavailable at the last moment because he was incapacitated by flu. The home team also had to give way to Alexander Eisath and Alex Frei. Milan, however, was missing attacker Diego Iori. There were slight advantages for the home side in the first third, but Raycroft was on hand to deal with shots from Durno and Daccordo. As a result, the Lombards retreated further and further and concentrated largely on their defensive tasks. An unchanged image after the page change. Perna missed the lead for the hosts after a few minutes. In return, Edoardo Caletti almost put the puck in the Rittner's goal, but Pogge was on target. Towards the end of the middle third, Wilson's team took a more than deserved lead. On the power play, Kevin Mitchell pulled away from the blue line and gave Raycroft the advantage. For the Rittner defender it was the third goal in the third game. Just a few moments later, things got even worse for the Lombards: Jordan Knackstedt had to leave the ice because the attacker was hit in the knee. After the last break, Ritten pushed for the preliminary decision. Matteo Rasom was denied by Raycroft from a promising position before Fauster got stuck on the Milan goalie after a counterattack. Within 115 seconds, the “Buam” finally closed the bag, as Perna, Jacina (with a masterpiece) and Durno made it 4-0 with a hat-trick. 17 seconds before the end of regular time, Kinasewich gave Rittner goalie Pogge a shutout.

Hafro Cortina – Wolves Fiat Professional 5:1 (0:0, 1:2, 4:0)

Hafro Cortina: JP Levasseur (Renè Baur); Paul Albers, Darrell Hay, Luca Zandonella, David Bowman, Michele Zanatta, Luca Zanatta; Giorgio De Bettin, Luca Felicetti, Ryan Dingle, Stanislav Gron, Andrea Moser, Francesco Adami, Andrea Baldo, Damiano Bravin Coach: Clayton Beddoes

Wolves Fiat Professional: Philipp Kosta (Hannes Hopfgartner), Tuuka Mäkelä, Christian Willeit, Christian Mair, Armin Hofer, Armin Helfer, Daniel Glira, Andreas Radin, Ivan Althuber; Max Oberrauch, Pat Iannone, Joe Jensen, Joe Cullen, Pat Kavanagh, Lukas Tauber, Lukas Crepaz, Aaron Tomasini, Felix Haidacher, Viktor Schweitzer, Alex Obermair Coach: Paul Adey

Goals: 1:0 Luca Felicetti (26.39), 1:1 Lukas Crepaz (31.32), 1:2 Joe Jensen (37.32), 2:2 Giorgio De Bettin (42.34), 3:2 Giorgio De Bettin (46.59), 4 :2 Francesco Adami (50.42), 5:2 Ryan Dingle (59.03)

After a strong final third, Cortina prevailed 5-2 against the Wolves, who were conserving their strength for the Italian Cup Final Four at the weekend. Both teams went into the match badly weakened. David Bowman made his debut at Cortina, but Derek Edwardson, Christian Menardi and Matt Siddall, for whom the season has come to an end, were missing. The Pusterers were missing goalkeeper Jean Sebastien Aubin, as well as players Patrick Bona, Ben Guitè and Benno Obermair. The initial phase went by without any major highlights. The Ampezzans tried hard, but nothing worthwhile came out of it. The middle third began with a chance for Joe Jensen, but Levasseur was in the post. Cortina did better on the other side. Luca Felicetti perfectly completed an assist from Stanislav Gron. But it didn't take long for the yellow-blacks to react. After just over half an hour, Lukas Crepaz equalized. Now the league leaders were wide awake and shortly before the second siren, Joe Jensen increased the score to 2-1 for the Pusterers with a powerful shot. In the final third, Cortina threw everything forward. In the 43rd minute, Gron played free for Giorgio De Bettin, who beat Kosta and equalized. De Bettin was also involved in Ampezzo's third goal, all he had to do was push the puck over the line. And because all good things come in threes, Francesco Adami, like the other two goals, made it 4-2. The final point came in the last minute from Ryan Dingle, who scored into the Wolves' deserted goal. For Cortina, a nice success for morale.

Val di Fassa Ferrarini – Alleghe Tegola Canadese 6:3 (3:0, 0:2, 3:1)

SHC Val di Fassa Ferrarini: Frank Doyle (Gianluca Vallini), David Turon, Greg Kuznik, Damiano Casagranda, Christian Castlunger, Mario Cartelli, Thomas Dantone; Ryan O'Marra, Jakub Sindel, Luca Planchensteiner, Enrico Chelodi, Gabriele Vieder, Stefano Margoni, Mattia Bernard, Martin Castlunger, Massimo Valeruz, Michele Marchetti, Nicola Deluca Coach: Miro Frycer

Alleghe Tegola Canadese: Davide Fontanive (Adam Dennis), Francesco De Biasio, Matt Waddell, Carlo Lorenzi, Nicholas Kuiper, Sean McMonagle, Kevin Adami; Jeff Lo Vecchio, Jonas Johansson, Vince Rocco, Daniele Veggiato, Manuel De Toni, Gino Guyer, Manuel Da Tos, Jari Monferone, Alberto Fontanive, Milos Ganz, Patrick Tormen, Davide Testori Coach: Tom Pokel

Goals: 1:0 Ryan O`Marra (0.10), 2:0 Michele Marchetti (8.00), 3:0 Jakub Sindel (13.22), 3:1 Vince Rocco (23.41), 3:2 Sean McMonagle (39.42), 4 :2 Jakub Sindel (44.08), 5:2 Ryan O`Marra (47.19), 5:3 Manuel De Toni (51.38), 6:3 Michele Marchetti (59.51)

Fassa celebrated a 6-3 home win in the duel with arch-rivals Alleghe. In the fourth “Fedaia Derby” of the season, both teams were full. The visitors lined up Davide Fontanive in goal and gave Adam Dennis a breather with the Italian Cup in mind. The young goalkeeper was caught off guard as Ryan O'Marra scored after just ten seconds. Fassa was inspired by the early goal and after exactly eight minutes Michele Marchetti made it 2-0. Even after the second goal, only the home team played, and they even made it 14-3 with Jakub Sindel in the 0th minute. There was little to no sign of Alleghe in this first third. In the second period, Vince Rocco took advantage of a power-number situation to initially reduce the lead to 1:3. Now the match became more lively and 18 seconds before the end of the middle third Sean McMonagle even reduced the score to 2:3. Now the derby was completely open again. But only until the 45th minute. Because Sindel made the preliminary decision with a score of 4:2, O'Marra sealed the deal three minutes later with a score of 5:2. Alleghe's captain Manuel De Toni managed to make it 5:3, but Michele Marchetti scored the final point nine seconds before the siren with 6:3 into the empty goal.

Migross Supermercati Asiago – Aquile FVG Pontebba 5:1 (1:0, 1:0, 3:1)

Migross Supermercati Asiago: Tyler Plante (Alessandro Tura), Daniel Sullivan, Enrico Miglioranzi, Michele Stevan, Lorenzo Casetti, Stefano Marchetti, Michele Strazzabosco; Nicola Tessari, Dave Borrelli, Mirko Presti, Luca Rigoni, Matteo Tessari, Layne Ulmer, Sean Bentivoglio, Federico Benetti, Paul Zanette, Chris DiDomenico Coach: John Parco

Aquile FVG Pontebba: Anthony Grieco (Simon Fabris); David Urquart, Andrea Gorza, Andrea Ricca, Nicolò Lo Russo; Ettore Tartaglione, Patrick Rizzo, Nicola Di Marco, Denis Soravia, Federico Demetz, Erik Weissman, Gerome Giudice, Andrea Rezzadore, Ruben Zozzoli Coach: Murajlca Pajic

Goals: 1:0 Layne Ulmer (14.30), 2:0 Paul Zanette (36.48), 3:0 Sean Bentivoglio (40.59), 4:0 Dave Borrelli (50.42), 5:0 Sean Bentivoglio (57.48), 5:1 David Urquart (58.59)

Asiago was able to play fully against Pontebba. Michele Strazzabosco even appeared on the match report, but he was not used on Thursday evening. Pontebba had to call on Miroslav Guren, Petr Sachl, Rok Pajic and Daniele Odoni. The home team set the rhythm without shining in the Odegar Stadium. Pontebba withstood the pressure for almost a quarter of an hour, then Layne Ulmer gave Asiago the lead with the advantage. In the second third the game went to one goal, but the Friuli club sold its skin as expensively as possible. The second goal for the Vicentina club only came in the 37th minute, when Paul Zanette, once again with one more man on the ice, successfully deflected a shot from Enrico Miglioranzi into the guests' goal. In the final third, Sean Bentivoglio made it 59-3 after 0 seconds. Then Dave Borelli and again Bentivolgio finally broke the guests' necks. Pontebba at least got a consolation goal from Urquart 61 seconds before the end of the game.
