Referees: HRONSKY, SIEGEL, Durmis, Konc
The spusu Vienna Capitals and the EC-KAC duel for the respective first points of the new season on Friday at the "Phil Lakos" Night in Vienna Kagran. While the Viennese have only been in action once in the new season - and lost against the reigning champions by the narrowest of margins - the Klagenfurt team has already suffered two painful defeats. After the clear opening defeat at HC TIWAG Innsbruck, the six-time champions (since the league was refounded) also lost to league newcomer BEMER Pioneers Vorarlberg. The Klagenfurt team struggled with converting their chances. No team in the win2day ICE Hockey League fired more shots on the opponent's box in the first two matches than the KAC. However, of the 86 shots so far, only three pucks found their way into the net. With a scoring efficiency of just 3.49%, they rank 13th and last in league comparisons. The spusu Vienna Capitals have scored fewer goals so far, although they have played one game less and were unlucky to lose 1:2 to EC Red Bull Salzburg in their only game. However, this goal was worth watching: Niki Hartl's equalizer against the reigning champions was promptly voted the top goal of the first week of the win2day ICE Hockey League. The spusu Vienna Capitals will celebrate their home debut regardless of the result, as Caps legend Phil Lakos will bid farewell as a player on Friday and pull his jersey under the roof of the STEFFL Arena. The EC-KAC will definitely have to do without Kele Steffler and Johannes Bischofberger in Vienna.
Fri, 23.09.2022, 19:15: Hydro Fehérvár AV19 - HK SZ Olimpija Ljubljana | >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<
Referees: FICHTNER, TRILAR, Kis-Kiraly, Zgonc
Last season's runner-up started the new season with one win and one loss. First, Hydro Fehérvár AV19, after a strong second period, celebrated a commanding opening win against HC Pustertal. But after that they had to accept a 1:4 defeat in the new edition of last year's final against EC Red Bull Salzburg. Against HK SZ Olimpija Ljubljana, the Hungarians now make their home debut this season. HK SZ Olimpija Ljubljana will have to adjust to one of the loudest halls in the win2day ICE Hockey League again on Friday. The Slovenians played only one game in the current season. Against HCB Südtirol Alperia the Dragons lost after an early lead.
Fri, 23.09.2022, 19:15: Moser Medical Graz99er - HC TIWAG Innsbruck | >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<
Referees: RENCZ, SOOS, Bedynek, Bärnthaler
HC TIWAG Innsbruck is the surprise team of the new season after the first two games. After a 5:2 win against KAC and a 5:1 win against Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey the Sharks are still on the top of the standings. Quite surprising was also the result of the first game of the Moser Medical Graz99ers, who first had to admit defeat against league newcomer Asiago with 2:3. However, the Styrians showed a clear reaction and two days later celebrated a 4-0 win at Steinbach Black Wings Linz. Thereby, the 99ers presented themselves efficient and could rely on goalie Christian Engstrand. In Innsbruck, newcomer Adam Helewka was one of the outstanding players of the first two matchdays of the win2day ICE Hockey League season 2022/23 with two goals and three assists. In the league-wide scorer ranking, however, the 27-year-old Canadian is closely followed by two teammates, Brady Shaw and Daniel Leavens. The Graz team, which will have to do without Ken Ograjensek and Daniel Woger on Friday, is therefore warned of the Sharks' biting attack. Mario Altmann, who is fit again after a long break, wants to defuse this.

Referees: GROZNIK, NIKOLIC M., Snoj, Sparer
EC Red Bull Salzburg made a commanding start to the season as reigning champions, celebrating home wins against the spusu Vienna Capitals and against Hydro Fehérvár AV19. Visiting Migross Supermercati Asiago now follows not only the first away game of the Salzburgers this season, but also the first game of the win2day ICE Hockey League at Pala Hodegart in the 6470 inhabitants municipality in the Vizetin Alps, located at about one thousand meters above sea level. There the "Yellow-Reds" already conquered two championship titles in the Alps Hockey League before they dared the jump into the win2day ICE Hockey League. For the premiere, Asiago caused a surprise with a 3:2 victory in Graz. A few days later, however, the league newcomer suffered a 1:5 defeat against HC TIWAG Innsbruck. Asiago, however, took the lead in this game as well before they were overrun by the offensive power of the Sharks. The reigning champions of the win2day ICE Hockey League will also not want to be surprised, who will have to give up Dominique Heinrich (ill) and Aljaž Predan in addition to convalescents Paul Huber and Ty Loney, who are already back on the ice training.
Fri, 23.09.2022, 20:00: HCB Südtirol Alperia - Steinbach Black Wings Linz | >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<
Referees: HUBER, ZRNIC, Hribar, Pardatscher
HCB Südtirol Alperia is one of three still unbeaten teams in the new season of the win2day ICE Hockey League. After sovereign victories over the league newcomers from Vorarlberg and HK SZ Olimpija, the South Tyroleans are only razor-thin behind leader Innsbruck after the first two games. Especially in penalty killing the Foxes were convincing - with a total of six survived shorthanded games the HCB still has a clean slate after two games. The two South Tyrolean goalies have also done an impressive job so far: while Andreas Bernard promptly recorded a shutout in the opener, his colleague Sam Harvey only received one goal against HKO. The Steinbach Black Wings Linz will meet HCB on Friday with a balanced record. After the 2:1 victory against VSV, they suffered a 0:4 defeat at home against Graz. Above all, the own chance exploitation - with 31 shots on goal no goal succeeded - caused the defeat of Linz. The Upper Austrians have to play twice in South Tyrol within 24 hours.

Less than 24 hours after the game in Bolzano, Steinbach Black Wings Linz are challenged a second time in South Tyrol. HC Pustertal has - like the Linzers before Friday's game - a balanced record. After the 1:4 defeat against Hydro Fehérvár AV19, the Wolves followed up with a 4:2 win against EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV. Especially in the final period Pustertal was convincing and secured the first three points in the new season.

STERNAT, ZRNIC, Hribar, Rigoni
Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey also has two appearances on the schedule within 24 hours. After Friday's home opener against Salzburg, Asiago hosts EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV, who earlier on Thursday will fight for the first points of the new season against BEMER Pioneers Vorarlberg.
