Curtain up for Serie A 2014/15

WSV Vipiteno - HC Neumarkt

The first match day starts at 19.30 p.m. Then the Broncos from Sterzing will meet HC Neumarkt in front of their home crowd. This is the first meeting between the two teams ever in Serie A. The Wipptalers, who have significantly upgraded their squad in the summer, go into the match as slight favorites, but the INL champions from the lower country are in the preparation phase despite poor results , good for a surprise coup. There should be excitement in the Weihenstephan Arena.

SV Kaltern - HC Gherdeina At the same time as the game Sterzing against Neumarkt, the second purely South Tyrolean duel between SV Kaltern and HC Gröden will take place in the Kaltern Raiffeisen Arena. These two teams have faced each other four times in Serie A so far, with the record being completely even with two wins each. On Saturday it will be shown which of the two former INL clubs has mastered the leap into the top Italian league best.

HC Pustertal - HC Valpellice

Two days after the Supercup win, the Wolves receive a celebratory reception in the Rienz Stadium, but the title win must be archived by 19.30 p.m. at the latest, because then the next position assessment awaits the HCP with Valpellice. The Piedmontese should not be a stumbling block at the start of the season.

SHC Fassa - Ritten Sport

One can look forward to the performance of the Rittner Buam on Saturday, who were only convincing at times in the Supercup against Pustertal and ultimately had to give way to their local rivals in their own stadium. They absolutely have to live up to their role as favorites in the away game in Canazei in order to avoid a false start to the new season.

SG Cortina - HC Eppan

The Pirates have to wait until 20.30 p.m. before they can celebrate their return to Serie A. At least they have a worthy venue for their comeback in the top league with the venerable Olympic Stadium in Cortina. However, the task is likely to prove extremely difficult, as Cortina wants to shake up the league with some great ice hockey this season. Added to this is the fact that the HCE has not yet been able to achieve a single first division win against the Ampezzo team.

The first round of the championship concludes with the encounter between Asiago and Milan.
