HC Gherdëina valgardena.it is about to win its first title in the Alps Hockey League. The “Furie” won 6-2 in Meran on Thursday and made it 3-0 in the “best-of-7” final series. The team from Wolkenstein now has its first chance of winning the title on Saturday in front of their home crowd. Head coach Marcel Skokan’s team won the last four games in the Pranives ice stadium.
In the three final duels so far, Val Gardena has impressed offensively with 17 goals. Vlastimil Dostálek, who has always scored points in the last six games, is the HCG’s playoff top scorer with 18 points. Meran won one of three away games against Gherdeina this season. In order to extend the season, the “Eagles” now need another success. Otherwise, a “sweep” could occur in a best-of-7 final series for the second time in league history. In 2024, Ritten secured the title with a 4-0 win over Cortina, and in 2021 Ljubljana won the “best-of-5” final series against Asiago 3-0.
