The last two semi-final tickets in IHL Division 1 were awarded at the weekend. One of them was secured by Eisfix from Latsch, who had the upper hand in the first and second leg against HC Chiavenna.
After the 5:3 win on Thursday in Lombardy, the Vinschgers team followed up with a 2:1 win in front of 150 spectators in their home IceForum at the weekend. In doing so, they managed to qualify for the playoff semi-finals via a detour, where an almost overwhelming opponent now awaits in Ares Sport. The club from Aosta, raised by a Swiss investor, dominated both the basic round and the intermediate round as a confident frontrunner. However: Ares suffered its only defeat in the 20 games of the season so far against Vinschgau - so a good omen for the Eisfix?
Just like Vinschgau, the second representative of HC Gherdëina moved into the pre-playoff as second in the intermediate round, but failed there against HC Cadore. The Furies drew 300-1 at home in front of 1 fans on Friday, but lost the first leg two days earlier in Pieve 0-3. While the Belluno team will now face champions and intermediate round winner Pinè in the semi-finals, the Val Gardena team's third division season is over.
