EC-KAC Future Team - Hockey Unterland Cavaliers 0:2 (0:1,0:0,0:1)

The Hockey Unterland Cavaliers were able to prevail in their second duel within 48 hours with the EC-KAC Future Team. After the league newcomer celebrated a clear 6:1 victory on Tuesday, it was a bit more exciting on Thursday. Late in the first period Florian Wieser put the guests in the lead. However, the Klagenfurt team held strong and stayed in the game until late in the final period. The Unterland goalie Tizian Giovanelli was not to be defeated this evening. With the Austrians putting all their cards on the table, Wieser scored a brace with an empty netter and thus ensured the decision. This success allowed the Cavaliers to climb back up to second place.

Red Bull Hockey Juniors - HC Meran/o Pircher 5:3 (0:0,1:2,4:1)

Red Bull Hockey Juniors celebrated a 5:3 success against HC Meran/o Pircher and defended their second place in the table. However, the decision in this match was made by late goals of the Salzburg team. After a goalless starting third, HC Meran/o took the lead twice in the second period. At the beginning of the final period Merano even gained a two-goal lead before the offense of the Cubs ignited the turbo. Nikolaus Heigl played a big part in this, equalizing the score within five minutes and then taking the lead for the first time. Quirin Bader also scored a brace for Salzburg. This was the fourth success in a row for the Red Bulls. The gap to leader Jesenice is now only three points - but they have played four games less.
