Four wins from four games is the impressive record of HCB Südtirol Alperia, Moser Medical Graz99ers and Olimpija Ljubljana. The Foxes and the 99ers have not even dropped a point. However, the league record for the most games without losing a point at the start of the season is still a long way off. The spusu Vienna Capitals hold it with twelve wins in a row, which they achieved in both the 2017/18 season and the following season. In the first of these two seasons, they even did so without conceding a point.

HCB Südtirol Alperia: New record within reach
HCB Südtirol Alperia not only delighted its fans with a perfect start to the season, but also set its sights on a new record. With four wins in a row and maximum points, the team from Bolzano has equaled its previous best start to a season from the 2013/14 and 2022/23 seasons. Should the Foxes also win their next game and pick up another three points, they would set a new club record for “perfect games” at the start of the season.

Another impressive milestone is the goal difference. With an outstanding +12 after four games, HCB currently has the best goal difference in its history after this period. The club is also within touching distance of equaling its longest record for wins at the start of a season, which Bolzano set in 2013/14 with six victories.

Moser Medical Graz99ers: Historic start
The Moser Medical Graz99ers have also started the 2024/25 season with an impressive record. Four wins in the first four games without losing a point already marks a new internal team record since the introduction of the three-point rule. In the 2002/03 and 2003/04 seasons, Graz also recorded four wins in a row to start the season, but without scoring maximum points. With another win, the 99ers would set up their longest season-opening winning streak.

Olimpija Ljubljana: New club record
Olimpija Ljubljana also has reason to celebrate. With four wins in its first four games, the Slovenian team has set a new club record. Never before in its league history has Olimpija been so successful in the first four games of a season.
