In terms of sport, things couldn’t be more different for the two Carinthian clubs, but the KAC and VSV ultimately have one thing in common. They both attract a lot of viewers.
The EC-KAC is currently in first place in the win2day ICE Hockey League with 91 points. The Red Jackets have had their playoff ticket in their pocket for a few match days. Things are completely different for their arch-rivals from the Draustadt: the Villach team are currently fighting for a pre-playoff ticket; the Adler are currently in 9th place with 55 points, five points ahead of the eleventh-placed team from Budapest. With six games left, it’s in your own hands.
Carinthian clubs “on top”
A look at the occupancy rate shows: the two Carinthian clubs are top and the VSV is even ahead of the Klagenfurters. With a rate of 94.44%, the people of Draustadt are at the top, according to the “Crown newspaper“. VSV managing director Martin Winkler: “We are happy that we have such a reception despite the table situation. We are an ice hockey town.” The KAC has an occupancy rate of 91.12%, but Oliver Pilloni has an explanation for the numbers: “We weren’t full to capacity a few times this year, which was certainly due to the schedule. Once we had a lot of home games in a row. But the statistics are slightly off. We are one of the few clubs that gives the true number of spectators. If a subscription holder doesn’t come, he isn’t counted either.”
The top 3 are completed by HC Falkensteiner Pustertal, the Bruneckers have a utilization rate of 89.83%. The other places are followed by Salzburg (88.45%), Linz (84.91%), Graz (79.48%), Innsbruck (72.17%), Laibach (71.11%) and Szekesfehervar (67.23%).
The ICE game will continue on Valentine’s Day, then there will most likely be a decisive duel between Ferencvaros and VSV in Budapest. The next day there are two games on the program before league operations really get going again from February 18th.
