Gladiators start against Amberg: fight for the lead!

The brand new ice hockey season picks up speed and the Erding Gladiators are facing two exciting games. On Friday at 8 p.m. you will receive the ERSC Amberg in Stadtwerke Erding Arena. Just two days later, on Sunday, the Gladiators compete at the River Rats in Geretsried, where the game begins at 5:30 p.m. For the gladiators around coach Thomas Daffner, who goes into the encounters optimistically, every point will be decisive.

In the first game, Amberg is waiting for the Gladiators. The Wild Lions did not remain unbeaten in the opening game against the reigning master Königsbrunn and had to give up 1: 4. But coach Salinger can also fall back on some key players. In addition to the former Gladiator Tomas Plihal, the Americans Hunter Fortin and Brandom Walkon have also strengthened the squad. Amberg enjoys the advantage of a well -rehearsed team that can rely on veterans like Michael Kirchberger and Felix Köbele. Daffner warns: "Amberg is compact on the defensive and sets fire -dangerous accents in the storm."

Opponent Geretsried under pressure

Sunday is also a challenge for the gladiators, because the ESC Geretsried has some well -known departures and now wants to reorganize itself. Powerful players like Danyel Waizmann and Tyler Wisemann left the River Rats, and veteran Florian Strobl has ended his career. However, Geretsried with Michal Popelka has committed a promising newcomer, who, together with Ondrej Horvath and the top scorers Stefano Rizzo and Maximilian Hüsken, is supposed to lead the offensive. To prevent the opposing goals, goalkeepers Dominik Grafbig and Maximilian Freytag play a central role. Freytag came from the Peißenberg Miners and has valuable experience.

Before the game against the Gladiators, Geretsried had already achieved an encouraging 8-2 win against EC Pfaffenhofen. This shows that the team is back on course after a difficult time. Trainer Hans Tauber sen. Will do everything possible to challenge the gladiators. Daffner emphasizes: "It is never easy to play in Geretsried. We have to be wide awake from the first second."
