On Saturday, November 23, 2024, the EK Zeller Eisbären further expanded their league lead in the Alps Hockey League with an impressive 5-0 win against the EC Bregenzerwald.

Only a short time later Hubert Berger increased to 2-0. In the second third, the polar bears showed their dominance, and shortly before the second third break, Nick Huard made a clear 3-0 lead. This preliminary decision confirmed the superiority of the team, which showed a strong defensive performance throughout the game.
