The last championship game this year was also the farewell game for Nick Bonino, who once again made a decisive contribution to the 4-1 win against Eppan. After the encounter, he said goodbye to his teammates and will fly home again on Wednesday, January 2nd. Today he decided the game with two goals. They were his number 25 and 26 goals of the season (in 19 appearances). Eppan was missing four regular players today, Jan Waldner, Patrick Wallenberg, Stefan Unterkofler and Alex Rottensteiner, but Mark Demetz returned in goal. There were no goals in the starting third, and it was only in the 27.45 minute that Bonino put his team in the lead. Three minutes later Daniel Peruzzo equalized, but before the second period break Bonino scored again, this time with a double advantage (Peruzzo and Ciresa were in the penalty box) to make it 2-1. Only nine seconds had been played in the final third when Matteo Peiti increased the score to 3-1. Eppan never recovered from this cold shower and even had to concede the 45.36:1 to Michael Sullmann in the 4 minute.

With the 6-2 home win against bottom team EV Bozen, Kaltern consolidated fourth place in the table and is now only two points behind Eppan. The hero of the evening was Thomas Pichler, who scored four goals. Kaltern competed with the best line-up, Christian Fabbretti was missing from the guests. The first third started very evenly, but Thomas Pichler's show started shortly before the break. The former striker from Pustertal and Ritten gave the “Hechte” a 2-0 lead in just two minutes. Pichler scored the first goal when he was outnumbered, the second in the power play. Bozen was struggling and had to concede 3-0 to Lorenz Röggl just twenty seconds after the break. The fourth goal followed in the 30.50 minute, again by Pichler. The 36-year-old Kiki Timpone (with his first championship goal) and Mathias Albarello reduced the score to 2:4 in just one minute, but immediately afterwards Manuel Gamper restored Kalterer's two-goal lead. Pichler finally scored the final point to make it 6:2 in the final third with his fourth goal.

After Meran and Eppan, HC Meran also defeated Pergine away on Sunday with 5-1 goals and celebrated their third championship victory in a row. The Passerstadt team, who again had to make do without Michael Stocker, took a 2-0 lead in the last five minutes of the starting third with two goals from Daniel Rizzi and Massimo Ansoldi. They also scored twice in the middle third, first in the 24.52 minute with Julian Schwienbacher, then seven minutes later with Stefan Palla, with a double majority, to make it 4-0. Two minutes before the end of the middle third, tempers heated up: Alberto Meneghini and Stefan Kobler had to take an early shower, and Barnes and Rizzi each had to go to the penalty box for four minutes. But the encounter was over long ago. Tombolato scored Bolzano's consolation goal at the beginning of the final third, but Taggart Desmet ultimately scored the final score of 5-1. It was his 15th goal of the season.

HC Gherdeina - WSV Vipiteno Weihenstephan 5:1 (2:0, 1:1, 2:0) HC Gherdeina: Florian Grossgasteiger (Giancarlo Kostner), Benjamin Bregenzer, Ryan Gaucher, Fabian Costa, Fabrizio Senoner, Simone Vinatzer, Gabriel Lang, Marco Senoner, Rupert Stampfer, Joel Brugnoli, Mitch Stephens, Gabriel Vinatzer, Kevin Senoner, Ivan Demetz, Benjamin Kostner, Oliver Schenk, Davide Holzknecht, Gabriel Senoner, Aaron Pitschieler Coach: Gary Prior

After today's away defeat in Val Gardena, Vipiteno had to hand over the lead of the Serie A2 to Neumarkt. The Ladins competed again today without Fabio Kostner, while the Broncos were missing the long-term injured Luca Scardoni and Daniel Erlacher as well as Kevin Larch. After 5.15 minutes, Val Gardena took the lead with Ryan Gaucher and before the first third break, Mitch Stephens, who was shorthanded, increased the lead to 2-0. 56 seconds after the break, things got even worse for Vipiteno as Kevin Senoner increased the score to 3-0. The guests were the first to wake up and scored the next goal in the 33.25 minute with Hannes Stofner. But it wasn't enough today. Val Gardena, on the other hand, continued to press and scored in the final third with Kevin Senoner and Oliver Schenk to make the final score 5-1.
