Serie A: Ritten wins the derby against Wolves – and second place

Master round

Wolves Fiat Professional - Ritten Sport Renault Trucks 0:1 (0:1, 0:0, 0:0)

Wolves Fiat Professional: Jean Sebastien Aubin (Philipp Kosta), 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, Viktor Schweitzer, Alex Obermair Coach: Paul Adey

Ritten Sport Renault Trucks: Justin Pogge (Martino Valle Da Rin); Kevin Mitchell, TJ Kemp, Ingemar Gruber, Fabian Hackhofer, Markus Hafner, Klaus Ploner, Andy Delmore, Ruben Rampazzo; Greg Jacina, Domenico Perna, Dan Tudin, Chris Durno, Emanuel Scelfo, Mathias Fauster, Lorenz Daccordo, Thomas Spinell, Matteo Rasom Coach: Rob Wilson

Goals: 0:1 Dan Tudin (12.37)

The Wolves Fiat Professional were narrowly defeated 0-1 in front of their own Ritten Sport audience on Saturday evening. This means that the Wilson team has overtaken the HCP in the table, which, however, has played one game less. For the Wolves, Jean Sebastien Aubin returned between the posts, while coach Paul Adey could not count on the services of Patrick Bona, Ben Guitè and Benno Obermair. Ryan Ramsay, Alex Frei and Alexander Eisath were missing from Ritten. Meanwhile, Martino Valle Da Rin, goalkeeper for Ritten's farm team Kaltern, was deployed as Justin Pogge's backup. The first third was very even. The hosts tried to play the game and take the reins into their hands. Ritten did not allow the Wolves' dominant game to be imposed on him and took the lead in the 13th minute of the game. With one man more on the ice - Joe Cullen was in the penalty box - Dan Tudin scored with a low diagonal shot. The Wolves tried Hofer a little later, but his shot from the blue line caused Justin Pogge almost no problems. In the second third, Ritten was the more active team in the early stages. The club from the high plateau pressed for the second goal, but at the latest Aubin was the end of the game. But the home team had the greatest chance. Viktor Schweitzer charged at Pogge alone, but he remained victorious against the young attacker. The last option is then again on the opposite side. Chris Durno and Tudin worked together, but the finish was easy prey for Aubin. Pustertal increased the number of hits significantly in the third round. But Ritten played very orderly and was always very dangerous on counterattacks. And with the few chances for the Wolves, the Buam were able to rely on Justin Pogge. It remained a narrow victory for the guests.

Alleghe Tegola Canadese – HC Bozen 2:3 (1:0, 1:2, 0:1)

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

HC Bolzano: Günther Hell (Massimo Camin); Alexander Egger, Hannes Oberdörfer, Christian Borgatello, Andrea Ambrosi, Daniel Fabris; Mark McCutcheon, MacGregor Sharp, Ryan Flynn, Anton Bernard, Balazs Ladanyi, Markus Gander, Enrico Dorigatti, Stefan Zisser, Peter Wunderer, Federico Gilmozzi Coach: Brian McCutcheon

Goals: 1:0 Patrick Tormen (1.36), 2:0 Vince Rocco (21.46), 2:1 Markus Gander (31.23), 2:2 MacGregor Sharp (34.29), 2:3 Alexander Egger (51.35)

Despite being 0-2 behind, HC Bozen prevailed 3-2 in Alleghe on the second matchday of the Master Round. For the home team, Luka Tosic was used in defense, while Gino Guyer had to sit in the stands as a surplus foreigner. Balazs Ladanyi made his debut in the record champions' dress at Bozen. However, Günther Hell was in goal - Tomas Duba left the club on Thursday at his own request for Krefeld and joined the Penguins. Christian Walcher and Marco Insam were also not there due to injuries, but they were expected to return to the team soon. Alleghe started strong and took the lead on the third line. Jari Monferone served Patrick Tormen exemplary, who left Hell behind. The game was very fast, but Bolzano was unable to set any dangerous marks. Alleghe, on the other hand, retreated cleverly and defended strongly. The home team also started like fire fighters in the middle third and increased the lead to 1.46-2 after just 0 minutes. Vince Rocco played brilliantly and gave Günther Hell the loss with a hammer shot. In the 25th minute, Bolzano scored with MacGregor Sharp, but the supposed goal was canceled because the striker was in the penalty area. Bolzano then increased the pressure and besieged the goal of Adam Dennis, who had to excel several times. In the 31.23 minute, the national goalkeeper also made a mistake and “gave” Markus Gander the goal to make it 1:2. Just three minutes later, MacGregor Sharp equalized on a pass from Ryan Flynn. It remained 2-2 after forty minutes. Even in the last part of the game, the people of Bolzano were equally dangerous. After a mistake by Luka Tosic, Alexander Egger shot, but Adam Dennis was on the post. A little later, Alleghe was unable to capitalize on a double majority. The Talferstadt team showed on the other side how to play successfully with two more men on the ice when captain Alexander Egger gave Bozen the lead for the first time. At the end, Alleghe threw everything forward and also took Dennis off the ice for a sixth player - but in vain. The Foxes celebrated a narrow 3-2 win at the De Toni Stadium.

Relegation Round

Migross Supermercati Asiago - Hafro Cortina 6:2 (3:1, 1:0, 2:1)

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.

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

Goals: 1:0 Stefano Marchetti (4.23), 1:1 Ryan Dingle (5.20), 2:1 Luca Rigoni (7.26), 3:1 Paul Zanette (9.20), 4:1 Luca Rigoni (28.08), 5:1 Sean Bentivoglio (50.12), 6:1 Dave Borrelli (51.21), 6:2 Stanislav Hudec (57.21)

Asiago was able to play fully in its debut in the relegation round. Indeed, Michele Strazzabosco returned to the team. However, Cotina was missing Matt Siddall and Derek Edwardson. The home side took the lead in the fifth minute with Stefano Marchetti, but the last cheers from the Asiago supporters had died down when Ryan Dingle equalized just 57 seconds later. This goal spurred the home team on: Luca Rigoni, who was outnumbered, first increased the score to 2-1 (7.26), before Paul Zanette gave Cortina goalie JP Levasseur the lead for the third time. And at this point, less than ten minutes had been played. After that, the match petered out and there were few highlights – even at the beginning of the second third. In the 29th minute, the bell rang again in Cortina's box when Luca Rigoni made it 4-1 with his second goal of the evening. In the final phase of the second period, Ryan Dingle could have shortened the score - but the attacker miserably missed a huge chance. In the final third, Federico Benetti celebrated a goal, but according to the replay, the referees disallowed the goal. The fifth goal for Asiago did come, namely through Sean Bentivolglio in the 52nd minute. Captain Borrelli made up half a dozen a little later before Stanislav Hudec limited the damage shortly before the end.

SHC Val di Fassa Ferrarini – Milano Rossoblu 0:3 (0:1, 0:1, 0:1)

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, Michele Marchetti, Nicola Deluca Coach: Miro Frycer

Milan Rossoblu: Andrew Raycroft (Paolo Della Bella); Alessandro Re, Marvin Degon, David Liffiton, Andreas Lutz, Matt De Marchi, Federico Betti, Francesco Borghi, Niccolò Latin; Matt Ryan, Ryan Kinasewich, Jordan Knackstedt, Edoardo Caletti. Tommaso Migliore, Luca Ansoldi, Manuel Lo Presti, Tommaso Goi, Michael Mazzacane, Marcello Borghi Coach: Adolf Insam

Goals: 0:1 Tommaso Goi (16.30), 0:2 Marvin Degon (26.14), 0:3 Jordan Knackstedt (59.57)

Fassa was almost obliged to win on Saturday evening in order to still have a chance of making it into the playoffs. The Ladins were able to play fully in this difficult task, while their opponents Milan could once again count on the services of captain Tommaso Migliore, but had to give way to Diego Iori. The debut of new acquisition Angelo Esposito also fell through - he will only arrive in Milan on Sunday. In the first few minutes both teams felt around and had difficulty finding gaps. Enrico Chelodi could have scored in the eighth minute, but Raycroft was on target. A little later, Stefano Margoni missed from a promising position before Milan struck coldly on the other side. Tommaso Goi put the puck in Frank Doyle's box with a wonderful diagonal shot. In the middle third, Milan were awarded a penalty after a confusing action. The referees then reversed this decision. The Lombards scored in the 27th minute when Marvin Degon scored with a shot from the blue line. Fassa didn't give up afterwards - despite being two goals behind against a very effective Milan. In the final third, Dantone & Co. noticeably increased the pressure, but Fassa had no luck either. With the advantage, David Turon slammed the puck onto the post. In the final phase, Frycer took his goalie off the ice, but it was in vain: with three seconds left, Jordan Knackstedt scored for the guests for the third time.
