The newly founded win2day AWHL celebrates a historic moment with the clash between the Sabres St. Pölten and the KSV Highlanders. The Sabres, reigning runners-up in the Austrian national championship, go into the game as favorites. The Highlanders, on the other hand, finished last season in fourth place after losing to the Lakers Kärnten in the game for third place. This game will not only be the first AWHL game in history for both teams, but will also mark the start of the new EWHL season, as the games between Austrian teams are scored twice. The game can be watched HERE LIVE IN FREE STREAM.

The mode of the new league offers excitement right to the end. In the first phase of the AWHL, the five teams play a first and second round, with the results also counting for the EWHL. This is followed by a second phase with placement and qualifying rounds, culminating in the AWHL Final Four, where the champion of the season is crowned. This new mode promises an exciting season with many top-class encounters.

Intensive weekend in the EWHL

Parallel to the AWHL premiere, several matches will also be played in the EWHL this weekend. On Friday, the Lakers Carinthia will host Slovakian representative HK PSRZ Bratislava. While Bratislava has won its previous EWHL games, the Lakers are starting the new season for the first time. On Saturday, the DEC Salzburg Eagles will face Aisulu Almaty, who have already played four games but are still waiting for their first win. In addition, Tauron Metropolia Silesia and MAC Budapest will face each other in an exciting duel.
