Pinzgau ice hockey club takes the lead: Excitement in the Alps Hockey League

There has been an exciting change at the top in the current Alps Hockey League game. The Pinzgau ice hockey club was able to establish itself with a 5:4 win against the previous league leaders Kitzbühel. The Zeller Eisbären have thus taken the lead in the league and established themselves as the new number one. With this win they have taken an important step, while the Red Bull Juniors remain in an unfavorable position.

The latest developments in Salzburg ice hockey paint a clear picture: the Red Bull Juniors' regression is remarkable after they recently lost 3-0 in their home game against Sisak. This was the fifth consecutive defeat for the team, which is currently ranked tenth. A direct comparison between the Eisbären and the Juniors three weeks ago made this turnaround clear; The Eisbären clearly won this derby 3-0 and have had an impressive series without defeat since then.

Secret of the polar bears' success

Patrick Schwarz, the managing director of the Eisbären, emphasizes that the start of the season was more difficult than expected. After a disappointing start in which they lost their first three away games, the team found stable form under the guidance of their new head coach Marcel Rodman. Schwarz emphasizes the importance of Rodman: "He plays a big part in our success. He manages to really weld our mix of talents and veterans together." This coming together of players is arguably one of the key factors in the team's current winning streak.

The Eisbären are not only on the way up, but also have specific goals for the season. Despite their current high, their ambitious plans remain the same. “We want to become Austrian champions again, qualify directly for the play-offs and advance to the next round,” continued Schwarz. This goal shows that despite their success, they do not want to rest on their laurels and continue to work hard to achieve their ambitions. It remains to be seen whether they can provide the necessary performance to achieve these goals.

On the other hand, captain Lukas Hörl from the Red Bull Juniors is trying not to let his head down. Despite the recent defeats, he is optimistic: “We are starting a comeback.” This determination could help the team turn things around and get out of their current misery. But the next games will decide whether they can actually initiate this upward trend.
