Vipiteno prevailed 3-2 in the summit meeting with Neumarkt. Newcomer Dylan Stanley from EV Bozen played for the Unterlandlers for the first time from the start. Alexander Sullmann, Mattei Peiti, Paolo Bustreo and Patrick Zambaldi had to pass. Stefan Ramoser and Tobias Erlacher were missing from the guests. Nevertheless, they were the ones who set the tone from the start and took the lead with Tobias Kofler's second great chance. Neumarkt only found his way into the game towards the middle of the first third, but then he did it right: Stanley equalized after 13.48:30 minutes. This lasted well into the second period before the Broncos took a 3-1 lead within XNUMX seconds. First Daniel Maffia took the lead again with his first goal of the season, then Derek Eastman gave goalkeeper Alex Caffi the loss for the third time. The league leader then controlled the encounter skillfully and kept the danger away from his own goal. Only in the final minutes, when Neumarkt threw everything forward, did tension arise again. However, Neumarkt's goal from Mike Craig five seconds before the end came too late to start a successful comeback.

SV Kaltern Rothoblaas - HC Eppan Sarah 3:4 nP (2:1, 0:1, 1:1, 0:0, 0:1)

SV Kaltern Rothoblaas: Martino Valle Da Rin (Daniel Morandell); Adrian Marzoner, Lukas Schweigkofler, Markus Kofler, Daniel Spinell, Alex Giovannini, Markus Siller, Steve Pelletier, Leonhard Rainer; Matias Loppi, Brian Belcastro, Raphael Andergassen, Alex Andergassen, Patrick Gius, Thomas Pichler, Lorenz Röggl, Michael Felderer, Manuel Gamper, Alex Tauferer, Hannes Clementi, Simon Andergassen Coach: Thomas Sandlin

HC Eppan Sarah: Mark Demetz (Alex Tomasi), David Ceresa, Fabian Ebner, Lukas Martini, Jake Newton, Peter Stimpfl; Tobias Ebner, Tuomo Harjula, Jan Waldner, Stefan Unterkofler, Alex Jaitner, Philipp Jaitner, Daniel Peruzzo, Philipp Platter, Robert Raffeiner, Tobias Spitaler, Mathias Eisenstecken, Christian Tröger Coach: Jarno Mensonen

Goals: 1:0 Manuel Gamper (2.07), 1:1 Tobias Ebner (8.56), 2:1 Thomas Pichler (19.21), 2:2 Philipp Jaitner (37.48), 2:3 Peter Stimpfl (45.05), 3:3 Matias Loppi (57.02), 3:4 Philipp Platter (decisive penalty)

HC Eppan is once again setting the tone in Überetsch. Without the injured Alex Rottensteiner and Patrick Wallenberg, the Pirates prevailed in the penalty shootout against their local rivals from Kaltern. The home team did not notice the failures of Patrick Thomaser and Thomas Waldthaler. They took the lead after just two minutes through Manuel Gamper, who was put in the spotlight by the young Simon Andergassen. However, the yellow-blue team showed an immediate defiance and equalized just seven minutes later with a goal from Tobias Ebner. Immediately before the first break, it was the visiting team who used a power play to take the lead again through Thomas Pichler. However, the Pirates gained the upper hand in the middle section. After several outnumbered situations went unused, Philipp Jaitner equalized after 37.48 minutes. At the beginning of the final third, the advanced Peter Stimpfl gave the visitors the lead for the first time. This lasted until the 57th minute, before Matias Loppi scored a goal to send both teams into extra time to make it 3-3. However, the decision would only be made in the penalty shootout: Philipp Platter from Eppan scored the winning goal.

Hockey Pergine Sapiens - Ev Bozen 84 Groupon 6:2 (2:0, 2:0, 2:2)

Pergine Sapiens: Marcello Platè (Daniele Facchinetti); Troy Barnes, Fabio Rigoni, Andrea Strazzabosco, Alessandro De Polo; Pontus Moren, Devid Piffer, Alberto Virzi, Riccardo Tombolato, Davide Mantovani, Lino De Toni, Marco Demattio, Denny Deanesi, Luca Mattivi, Andrea Meneghini, Stefano Piva, Davide Conci Coach: Marco Liberatore

Pergine plunges EV Bozen further into the bottom of the table with a clear 6:2. Both teams were able to rely on all squad players in the direct encounter. The game started very promisingly for the EVB with a power play, but while the guests were allowed to play with one more man, Pontus Moren scored their first goal. Alberto Virzi made it 2-0 before the first break. There was no sign of the people of Bolzano rebelling. On the contrary: Pergine mostly had the blue-whites under control and extended the lead to 4-0 in the second third with goals from Marco Demattio and Denny Deanesi. At the start of the final period, Davide Mantovani scored Pergine's fifth goal. Only then was EV Bozen also able to score a goal: Philipp Grandi and Michele Volcan only made the result cosmetic with their goals, because after just 52.58 minutes Moren made the decision 6-2.

HC Gherdeina - HC Meran Pircher 2:5 (2:3, 0:1, 0:1)

HC Gherdeina: Florian Grossgasteiger (Giancarlo Kostner), Benjamin Bregenzer, Ryan Gaucher, Simone Vinatzer, Christian Castlunger, Fabio Kostner, Gabriel Lang, Marco Senoner, Joel Brugnoli, Mitch Stephens, Gabriel Vinatzer, Benjamin Kostner, Gabriel Senoner, Kevin Senoner, Ivan Demetz, Rupert Stampfer, Davide Holzknecht, Fabrizio Senoner, Aaron Pitschieler, Coach: Gary Prior

HC Meran Pircher: Vincenzo Marozzi (Samuel Quaglio); Jan Mair, Daniel Valgoi, Philipp Beber, Danny Eliscasis; Max Ansoldi, Julian Schwienbacher. Michele Ciresa, Taggart Desmet, Thomas Mitterer, Stefan Palla, Stefan Kobler, Viktor Schweitzer, Daniel Rizzi, Michael Stocker, Michael Guarise, Daniel Frank, Davide Turrin, Felix Heidacher Coach: Doug McKay

Goals: 0:1 Julian Schwienbacher (0.52), 0:2 Stefan Palla (6.20), 1:2 Rupert Stampfer (15.31), 1:3 Thomas Mitterer (18.17), 2:3 Benjamin Bregenzer (19.14), 2:4 Taggart Desmet (22.50), 2:5 Viktor Schweitzer (59.50)

In the evening game of the 35th championship round, which was marked by penalties, HC Meran defeated its neighbors Val Gardena. The Ladin team had to give up Fabian Costa, but Christian Castlunger from HC Fassa was in the squad. The HCM also had three farm team players at its disposal: Danny Eliscasis, Viktor Schweitzer and Felix Heidacher from HC Pustertal. They replaced Viktor Wallin, Patrick Cainelli and Michael Stocker. The black and whites opened the scoring after just 52 minutes through Julian Schwienbacher. After 6.20:2 minutes, Stefan Palla increased the score to 0-15.31 in the power play. However, Val Gardena tried to defend itself quickly and was rewarded with a goal from Rupert Stampfer after 3 minutes. In the eventful first third, two more goals were scored: First, Thomas Mitterer made it 1-33.10, before Benjamin Bregenzer reduced the deficit again with a double advantage. In the middle section it was the home team who received numerous unnecessary penalties and thus punished themselves. This is how the fourth goal was made possible by Taggart Desmet. The Val Gardena team then left two power play situations unused. After 5 minutes, Aaron Pitschieler had to take the shower early with a game misconduct penalty. However, that was one of the last upsets of the game, as the final third passed with almost no further highlights. Meran cleverly defended its lead, also thanks to a very strong Vincenzo Marozzi in goal, and even extended the victory to 2:XNUMX with an empty-net goal from Schweitzer.
