Top fight in the Alps Hockey League: Sisak meets Jesenice
Five exciting games will take place in the Alps Hockey League on Thursday as the teams return after a short break. The focus is particularly on the league leader KHL Sisak, who is playing against the third-placed SIJ Acroni Jesenice. With an impressive performance, the Croatians have already collected 26 points from ten games and are dominating both offensively and defensively.
The match between KHL Sisak and SIJ Acroni Jesenice is the third meeting between the two teams this season. In the first league duel, Jesenice narrowly won 3-2 after extra time, while they lost 3-1 in the Continental Cup in Ritten. Sisak will go into this game as favorites as they have won all their previous meetings in front of their home crowd.
Rittner Buam challenged at the Continental Cup
A special highlight next week for the Rittner Buam SkyAlps will be the Continental Cup. In Zilina, Slovakia, they will face the hosts, the Cardiff Devils from Great Britain and Kazakhstan's HC Arlan from Friday to Sunday. The two best teams in this group qualify for the final tournament in January, which is no less important in ice hockey than reaching the final round of a championship.
The Rittner Buam's performances so far have been strong and they will do everything they can to shine in this international competition. Preparation for such challenges is crucial for the players and a successful outcome could give the team additional confidence for further league games.
More Alps Hockey League games
There are several other exciting duels on the schedule on Thursday. Fourth-placed Adler Stadtwerke Kitzbühel will face the Hockey Unterland Cavaliers, while the Red Bull Hockey Juniors will face EC Bregenzerwald. Kitzbühel will do everything it can to recover from the minor crisis of the last few games, while the Juniors will try to consolidate their place in the top half of the table.
HC Gherdeina faces the Wipptal Broncos Weihenstephan in an explosive derby, who urgently need to strive for their first win after a series of defeats. This match is particularly important for the Bronocs, who are in last place in the table and want to get back on track with a win.
In summary, Thursday will be an exciting matchday with many important games that are important for both the league rankings and the Rittner Buam's international game. Details about the games can be found in the current reporting www.suedtirolnews.it to find.
