The Steinbach Black Wings Linz are using the Olympic break for an away test. On Friday, February 13th, the Linzers will rehearse with the Czech extra league team from Budweis for the final battle for the pre-playoffs. Yohann Auvitu has arrived in Milan, Patrick Söllinger and Henrik Neubauer in Oslo.
22 games, five wins and only 14 points: The big problem for the Steinbach Black Wings Linz in the current championship is obvious. While the Upper Austrians, driven by an average of more than 4,100 visitors, can more than keep up with the top teams on home ice, they show a completely different face abroad. The last guest appearance last Sunday at the KAC was also significant for the entire regular season. The Linz team fell behind due to early uncertainty and unsuccessfully chased it until the end. Too often it was precisely this feature film that left the Upper Austrians trembling until the end about extending their season after March 1st.
Head coach Philipp Lukas is now dedicating an additional unit to this apparent problem under real conditions before the final battle for the pre-playoffs in the win2day ICE Hockey League. On Friday, February 13th, Brian Lebler and Co. will travel to their pre-season rivals in Budweis. The test match against the current tenth place team in the Czech Extraliga is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. in the Budvar Arena.

Meanwhile, Yohann Auvitu started his adventure at the Olympic Games yesterday, Monday. The defender joined the French national team in Milan. After the grand opening ceremony next Friday, the Tricolore will face Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Canada. Patrick Söllinger and Henrik Neubauer are also traveling internationally these days. The duo is part of Roger Bader’s Austrian selection for a test match tournament in Oslo. There Austria meets hosts Norway and Hungary.
The Upper Austrians continue in the win2day ICE Hockey League on Wednesday, February 18th in Feldkirch, before a home double awaits Linz. Tickets for the matches against the Vienna Capitals and Laibach are available online at tickets.blackwings.at and at the box office.
