Kapfenberg made fewer mistakes today and they were simply smarter and more hardened in the power play. That made the difference today. “

We had a very small squad today, as some of our players were absent for a short time due to illness. It wasn’t easy for the team. It remains to be seen where the journey in the ÖEL will take us. At this point in time it’s hard to gauge the teams in the other leagues. Our goal is to win our division.
