Rittner Buam – S.G. Cortina Hafro
The playoff run of Cortina was stopped by the Rittner Buam on Wednesday. After a four game winning streak in quarterfinals and semifinals Ritten tied the series again and has now the possibility to take the lead and capture the match puck in front of the home crowd. For Cortina Nicola Fontanive will celebrate his comeback after his suspension and playhis first game in the semifinals of the Sky Alps Hockey League. In the quarterfinals, he did a great job and scored five points in only two games. But Franceso Adami received a two-game suspension for boarding. The forward, who has ten goals and 19 assists this season, would be allowed to play in a possible game 5 of semifinals again. At Ritten the defender Christian Borgatello  is on fire. As a defender he is the best playoff scorerer of his team so far with two goals and seven assists.

Asiago Hockey – HDD SIJ Acroni Jesenice
Jesenice managed to tie the series again in front of the home crowd on Wednesday. A great energy boost in the final minutes brought the decision. But in their home rink Asiago is very strong, as they didn’t lose a game in playoffs at home and Jesenice didn’t manage to win a single game this season there. But still Eric Pance, one of the best scoreres this season, and his team wants to capture the first match puck. To do so, they need to play a bit more disciplined, as they have the most penalty minutes in playoffs of the remaining four teams.
