Today at the KAC
Pioneers Vorarlberg start the final countdown
The hottest phase of the season starts today for the Pioneers Vorarlberg. In the last four games of the basic round of the ICE Hockey League, the cracks of head coach Dylan Stanley have to make up six points against the Vienna Capitals. They currently sit in tenth place on the last available pre-playoff ticket.
A real mammoth task, which begins today (19:15) with a difficult away game at league leaders KAC. At the same time, the Caps welcome Villacher SV, against whom they have already picked up four points this season.
A supposed "walkover" awaits the Viennese on Friday, when they face toothless Haie in Innsbruck. The Pioneers, on the other hand, will host Fehervar - currently fourth in the table - the day after tomorrow before a direct clash with the Capitals in Feldkirch's Vorarlberghalle on Saturday.
In order for the home side to still have something to play for in this game, however, the gap must not grow any further, as then qualification for the pre-playoffs would still be mathematically possible. Because one thing is already certain: in a direct comparison - which is decisive if the teams are tied on points - the Pioneers would be ahead.
Summer promises full commitment
"We can now leave absolutely everything on the ice in these four games," promises Pioneers defenseman Aaron Summer. "We've shown that we can also win against the top teams."
