HDD SIJ Acroni Jesenice opens their Pre Season on Tuesday at home against League-opponent EC-KAC II. At Jesenice Head Coach Gaber Glavic trusts in a team with many home-players, totally 24 from 26 cracks are Slovenian. Just goalie Clark Saunders (CAN) and Try Out Forward Markus Piispanen (FIN) have in this moment no Slovenian passport. While the „Red Steelers“ play their first Pre Season game, EC-KAC II started already with a success into the season. The „Red Jackets“ won on Saturday a „friendly derby“ against the U20-team of EC VSV on the road 3:2. Klagenfurt was the chief on the ice (53:11-shots on the net). Klagenfurts goals were scored by Tommaso Topatigh, Simon Hammerle and Nicholas Lang. At Jesenice Ramón Schnetzer, Philipp Kreuzer and Try-Out Žiga Svete, the 30 years old defenseman played lately in Latvia, will make their season-debut for Klagenfurt.
 
EC Bregenzerwald is already on Fire! The Austrians won their first test against GDT Bellinzona 5:0. New arrival Juuso Mörsky scored twice, Goalie Pietilä celebrated a Shutout. Also the „Wälders“ next opponent comes from Switzerland. On Friday the west-club hosts in their second test EHC Chur, that participates in the third League in Switzerland.
