The HCI will meet the Pioneers on Sunday. The game is the last preparatory game for the new season at Tiwag Arena.
After the 0: 2 against Ravensburg a week ago, the sharks test tomorrow, Sunday, a second and last time in the Tiwag Arena. The opponent will be league competitor Pioneers Vorarlberg. An important test, the two teams not only meet in a further test game next week, but also in the second league round (September 14th in Feldkirch).
“The week was very good. The pace was high, the chemistry between the offensive players and the Defender couples is getting better. I believe that we will reach the next level against a strong opponent on Sunday,” head coach Ryan Kinasevich is confident. Assistant Florian Pedevilla adds: “The players hang in fully, which of course makes it easier for us as a coach. Now we want to see progress on Sunday.”
Also Pioneers with many new faces
The signs at the Pioneers are similar to the sharks. There was a medium -sized change in summer. With Johannes Nygard, a new head coach on the gang swings the scepter, numerous new players are in the contingent of the Vorarlberg. The first test games were positive. The Pioneers celebrated a 2-1 win against the Swiss second division clubs HC Thurgau and GCK Lions.
The Vorarlbergers have a clear goal for tomorrow. “We want to develop further and show a lot of intensity. But the game on September 14th becomes more important,” said Neo-captain Kevin Macierzynski.
Haie hope for many fans
In any case, the shark cracks hope for a well-filled Tiwag Arena. Tickets are available from 3:00 p.m. at the cash registers at a price of € 12. Children and adolescents, like all subscription owners, have free admission.
