The current season of the Graz99ers shows that the team from Styria is on a promising path. After the impressive performance in 13 out of 17 games, in which you could collect points, you are currently in third place in the table. In the race for the top positions, the 99ers have so far had a remarkable balance sheet in November, since they have not yet been conquered in regular time.

The recent course was particularly impressive when the Graz99ers in three successive games, including games against the Pioneers Vorarlberg as well as Asiago Hockey and HC Pustertal, achieved clear victories and scored a goal difference of 17: 4. These successes have led to the 99ers celebrating eleven victories this season - this corresponds to the total number of their successes from the entire last season, which included 48 games.

A look at the statistics shows that the Graz99ers perform excellently in several areas of the league. They take fifth place in the gates achieved, with an average of 3.29 per game. The team is also strong in the power play and ranks fourth with a success rate of 24.1 percent. On the defensive they are also solid and only allow 2.41 goals for each encounter, which means third place in this category. At 86.0 percent, the penalty killing of the Graz99ers is even the second best in the league.

However, there are also challenges. So far, the team has not been able to show the desired consistency in home games. With only seven home games played, you are the team that has played the least games in front of a home crowd. In the last five home appearances, only in two cases managed to keep the points on their own ice. The team around coach Harald Lange could use reinforcement in the home game to cause a sensation in your own arena.

The Graz99ers will be particularly remarkable, which lead the league with an average of 35.4 shots per game. This is an indication of the offensive pressure that the team builds up and raises it by 20.2 percent above the average of the other teams. These performance data reaffirm the positive trend of the association and show ambitious goals in the course of the season.

The current developments related to the Graz99ers are promising and offer both the players and fans reason for joy. Further information can be found at www.kac.at, where the continuations of the season and the next challenges for the team are treated.
