Referees: BENVEGNU, EGGER, Fleischmann, Rinker | >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<

The Rittner Buam SkyAlps were beaten 4:7 by the league newcomers Hockey Unterland Cavaliers in a high-scoring game on Thursday. Now the South Tyroleans return to their rink in Klobenstein, where they have only played three games this season - two wins, one loss. In two of the three AHL home games against Linz so far, the Buam celebrated two clear victories, but the Upper Austrians also won once. This season, the team at the bottom of the table is still waiting for an away win, with at least two points in three games.

Referees: DURCHNER, FAJDIGA, Murnik, Schweighofer | >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<

After a two-week break, Jesenice returns to league action: on Friday the Steelers host Lustenau, on Saturday Fassa comes to town. The Slovenians recently secured promotion from the Continental Cup as the second-placed team behind Asiago from the win2day ICE Hockey League. Before that, things also went according to plan in the Alps Hockey League, with Jesenice winning their last six games. Fassa is a team that recently recorded two overtime victories. The Italians have suffered three defeats away from home so far, with their only win coming on the first matchday in Lustenau. In the six AHL duels in Jesenice so far, the home side have always been the winners.

Only 24 hours later, the Vorarlberg side will duel with the Future Team of the KAC. EHC newcomer Ryan Hayes will take part for the first time. After a good start to the season, the Carinthians lost seven of their last eight games, but especially at home they always demanded everything from their opponents. In 14 AHL duels Lustenau won 13 times, in Klagenfurt they always kept the upper hand.

Sat, 22.10.2022, 19:30: EK Die Zeller Eisbären - Hockey Unterland Cavaliers
Referees: HOLZER, RUETZ, Legat, Weiss | >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<

After four wins in a row and the 2:1 shootout victory in the Salzburg derby on Thursday at Red Bull Hockey Juniors, the Zeller Eisbären are already hoping for the next three points in the Alps Hockey League on Saturday. In the eleventh round, the Pinzgauers, who will once again be without Fabio Artner, will face the Hockey Unterland Cavaliers for the first time. The team from Neumarkt ended a three-game losing streak yesterday against Ritten. The South Tyroleans are one place ahead of Zell am See in fourth place in the table.

With four wins in a row, Kitzbühel moved up to sixth place. On Thursday, the Tyroleans won 5:3 in Klagenfurt. Gardena, on the other hand, suffered its third defeat in a row yesterday and fell back to ninth place. The home side has won four of the six meetings at Sportpark Kitzbühel so far. 

Sat, 22.10.2022, 19:30: Wipptal Broncos Weihenstephan - Red Bull Hockey Juniors
Referees: PINIE, SORAPERRA, Bedana, Cristeli | >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<

Sterzing won four of their last six games, but only one of them at home. The Broncos even lost their last two home games, conceding five goals each against Klagenfurt and Zell am See. The heavily depleted Salzburg team was only beaten in the shootout in the derby against Zell am See on Thursday. The Juniors are still in second place in the table. In January 2022, the Salzbruger celebrated their first win in Sterzing, before that they had to admit defeat nine times.

Sat, 22.10.2022, 20:30: S.G. Cortina Hafro - EC Bregenzerwald
Referees: BULOVEC, VIRTA, Bergant, Brondi | >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<

After seven wins in a row Cortina had to admit defeat twice. Against Ritten and Fassa the league leader got one point each, but lost in the shootout and overtime respectively. Cortina has been convincing so far with quality in all lines: eleven players have scored more than four points. Bregenzerwald lost at home to Meran on Wednesday after overtime, but won two games before that. Last season, the Vorarlberg team and Cortina met on equal terms. While the game at the Messestadion went to the visitors after overtime, the Juurikkala side took revenge away from home with a win after penalty shootout. The result both times was 3:2 for the winner.
