Alps Hockey League, Qualification Round B:
Sat, 11.02.2023, 20:00: EC Die Adler Stadtwerke Kitzbühel - EC Bregenzerwald
Referees: RUETZ, SCHAUER, Pötscher, Wucherer | >> PPV-Stream <<

Kitzbühel and Bregenzerwald are on the best way towards the Pre-Playoffs. The Tyrolean team leads the Qualification Round B with 14 points, got three wins in four games. The Vorarlbergers, on the other hand, went into the intermediate round without a bonus point. But they were winning all four matches so far and are in third place. They conceded only five goals in the four matches. The two teams have faced each other twice so far this season, with the hosts narrowly prevailing on each occasion. Ahead of the last four games in the qualification round, Kitzbühel announced one more new addition: Jannik Fröwis joins from Winterthur in Switzerland. In his debut in the Adler jersey, he immediately meets his former club. The 23-year-old center has already played 46 AHL games for Bregenzerwald and Klagenfurt, scoring 32 points (15G, 17A).

Decisions in national championships
For other Alps Hockey League teams important matches are also on Saturday's program, as two national championships will be decided. In Italy, the match between Hafro Cortina Hockey and the Rittner Buam SkyAlps will be a showdown for the Scudetto - the winner of the duel will take the title. In addition, Red Bull Hockey Juniors will play the second leg of the Austrian AHL Championship final against EK Die Zeller Eisbären and will go into the encounter with a three-goal lead after yesterday's 3:0 win in Zell am See.
