The new Alps Hockey League season kicks off with five games on Saturday, September 21. There is also a first round game on Sunday. Only league newcomers KHL Sisak are free of games on the first weekend, as the Croatians are playing in the Continental Cup.

The Rittner Buam SkyAlps start the new season as defending champions with an away derby. The South Tyroleans host HC Meran/o Pircher, who narrowly missed out on the semi-finals last season - their third season. The other four Saturday encounters are cross-border duels: The Wipptal Broncos Weihenstephan welcome HK RST Pellet Celje, HC Gherdeina valgardena.it travel to the Eagles in Kitzbühel, and the dominators of the first half of last season, EK Die Zeller Eisbären, make their season opener at home against the Hockey Unterland Cavaliers.

In the only Sunday game, runners-up S.G. Cortina Hafro welcome the Red Bull Hockey Juniors, who once again reached the semi-finals in the previous season - against the very same Cortina. So everything is set for revenge.
