The Pioneers Vorarlberg kicked off their preseason campaign with a victory. In the first game under new head coach Johannes Nygård – who previously served as assistant coach – the Austrian side earned a 2-1 win over Swiss club HC Thurgau.

The Pioneers got on the board early, striking just two minutes into the game. Thurgau responded with the equalizer at 11:00 of the opening frame, but the decisive goal came midway through the contest as the hosts regained the lead in the second period.

Next up: the Pioneers face another Swiss opponent this Friday, taking on the GCK Lions.
