Ice hockey – ICE: Graz cancellations! KAC not in top 6, Innsbruck gone – winter sports
Vienna – Friday, February 25th, 2022, 12:11 p.m
Two game cancellations spoil the exciting finale in the regular season of the ICE Hockey League.
Because both home games of the Graz99ers on Friday against Znojmo and on Sunday against KAC were canceled without replacement due to corona precautionary measures, KAC no longer had a chance of making the top 6 even if the competition lost and thus missed a fixed quarter-final. Ticket.
The “red jackets” have to go into the pre-playoffs, where the last two quarter-final tickets in the “best-of-three” series are played between places seven and ten.
Grazers will also compete there, and they will even benefit from the cancellations. This means that HC Innsbruck (11th), even with six points at the end in Salzburg and against Black Wings Linz, no longer has an opportunity to improve their point average sufficiently. For the “Haie” the season ends after this weekend.
On the last two matchdays, HC Pustertal, Vienna Capitals, Olimpija Ljubljana, HC Znojmo and HC Bozen are still fighting for three quarter-final tickets, the other two clubs slip to KAC and Graz99ers in the pre-playoffs.
