The HCI will meet the EK cell on the lake this evening in the next test. The governing Alps champion will be the next real touchstone.
For the sharks, the next test is on the program today. The HCI meets the polar bears in Zell am See. There is also a reunion with some old acquaintances. Among other things, Kele Steffler, Christian Jennes or Tyler Cuma have a long time past. On the other hand, Devin Steffler and Kilian Rappold were still in the squad of the championship team of the polar bears in the spring.
Thomas Mader: “We develop step by step forward”
For the native of Pinzgau in the ranks of the Tyroleans, Thomas Mader, a kind of home game. The assistant captain hopes that the tendency in preparation will show further: “We develop step by step forward. The intensity in the units on the ice and in the Kraft chamber is high. Everyone gives everything. The results are now also correct, but we still have to work a lot.”
Today’s game in Zell am See sees Mader as a real touchstone: “This is the governing Alps master, a really good team. They are very structured and will face a few tasks. We have to raise our game and make the details better that have not yet worked so well in the last few games.”
After the game in Zell, the sharks will still test against Asiago and Landshut this weekend.
