Series A2: The weekend program offers some delicacies

HC Eppan saver scaffolding The “English” ice hockey week began for the Pirates with a home defeat against Milan. On paper, the Mensonen team's next two opponents, EV Bozen 84 and Gröden, should be easier, but the HCE must continue to act with the necessary concentration to leave the ice as winners. Above all, the evaluation of chances was the big shortcoming against Milan that led to the defeat. As far as the squad is concerned, the Pirates should be fully present at the weekend.

SV Kaltern Rothoblaas Now at the latest, after four defeats in as many games, the alarm bells will be ringing for the Hechte. There was no sense of success for the Überetscher in November and what might be even more serious: 31 goals conceded compared to only five goals scored. The defense will therefore have to be much more concentrated in future games in order to support goalkeeper Camin between the posts. Against Meran and EV Bozen, the Kalterer team will have to do without Waldthaler and Alex Andergassen, as well as Schweitzer, who is suspended for one match day.

HC Neumarkt Riwega Neumarkt’s soaring continues. The Wilson team plays excellent ice hockey and is already five points ahead of their direct pursuers Milan. Perna-Pellettier are in top form and Martin Rizzi in the white-blue box is the usual reliable support who drives the opposing attackers white hot with his saves. For the Unterlanders they face Val Gardena and Milan, two difficult games in which they have to do without Zelger and Donati, as well as the suspended Hannes Walther for one match day. In any case, the real treat is on Sunday evening when we face Milan in the Würth Arena.

EV Bozen 84 Mirò Dental EV Bozen 84 will have gained a lot of self-confidence after their second win of the season (after 60 minutes) against Meran. The change in the coaching bench also seems to have paid off and the arrival of Slovakian Richard Sechny has also done the team good. The young White Weasels can certainly learn a lot from the experienced attacker. Coach Fedrizzi can rely on the full squad in the two games against Eppan and Kaltern - including Plankl, who is returning to the team after recovering from injury.

HC Gherdeina After the stuttering start, the HC Gröden engine now seems to be running slowly but surely. Because recently there were victories against Meran and Pergine. That's why this weekend it's all about confirming the form they've shown for the Ladins. The Kostner team plays against Neumarkt and Eppan. Above all, the home game against the league leaders should provide additional motivation for the people of Val Gardena, as the goal in the Pranives Stadium is to make up for the 1-8 defeat from the first meeting.

HC Meran Nils November is not the month of HC Meran. After the victory in Milan, the Passerstadt team suffered four defeats in a row. Most recently, Doug McKay's protégés lost to EV Bozen 84. This negative series now needs to be broken against Kaltern and Pergine. The Eagles have to step up their game, especially in defense, as defense was Meran's showpiece in the early stages of the season. Meran urgently needs the points in order to break away from the bottom of the table and catch up with the top places.

Hockey Milano Rossoblù

The Da-Rin troop is also on the hunt from Neumarkt this weekend. After the match against Pergine, the Lombards will also face the Wild Geese in a direct duel. Most recently against Eppan, Milan had a hard time and were put in a lot of trouble by the Überetscher team. But the defense, certainly the showpiece of the club from Lombardy, stood secure apart from a few bad passes. The goalkeepers Terrazzano-Della Bella are the best there is to offer in league two anyway. Della Bella could most likely be in goal on Friday, while Caletti and Latin will be missing.

Pergine Solarplus

Pergine recently lost out in the home game against Val Gardena, but it is still astonishing how well the newcomer keeps up with his numerous young players in this A2. The most striking player so far has certainly been goalie Comisso, who impresses with a rate of 91,1 percent in the white and red uniform. And that despite the fact that the most shots were fired at the Hechte's former goalkeeper. Pergine will face Milan on Friday, while Merano will host them on Sunday.
