Pustertal loses match for 3rd place at the Dolomitencup
Following its strong performance in the 1:2 loss to Löwen Frankfurt, HC Pustertal faced the thirteen-time Czech champions HC Kometa Brno in the second game of the Dolomitencup in Neumarkt. The top team from the extra league around NHL veteran Brandon Davidson and the reigning world champions Jakub Flek and Jan Scotka has a very deep and balanced squad of predominantly Czech and Slovakian players.
