Ice hockey cracker: ECP welcomes Amberg to the arena on the holiday!

There will be a lot of sport in Pfaffenhofen during the holidays! Despite the festive mood in the country, ice hockey operations continue undisturbed. The Danube Courier reports that EC Pfaffenhofen will play against ERSC Amberg on Boxing Day at 8 p.m. in the Stadtwerke Arena. An important away game at EA Schongau follows on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. Coach Markus Muhr did his best and scheduled training sessions on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to prepare the team optimally.

The situation has brightened somewhat for Amberg in the last few weeks after the team was able to end an eleven-game losing streak. The new coach Christian Zessack, who has only been in office since last week, has brought a breath of fresh air into the team. Amberg also has several new signings in December, including Christoph Eckl, who previously played for ECP, and Oliver Eckl, who is returning to the team after an injury. Alex Eckl is also ready to play again after a professional absence, which could potentially ease the ECP's center forward problem.

Chasing points

EC Pfaffenhofen suffered a narrow defeat 3:4 in the first leg against Schongau and will go into the second leg with a lot of motivation to take revenge. The focus is on ERSC Amberg's most dangerous players, Brendan Walkom and Nolan Gardiner, who have already scored 27 goals together. On the other hand, the ECP fans are hoping for a strong performance from their team in order to finally collect the important points for the table.

The current table situation shows that ERSC Amberg is in second to last place and EA Schongau is in twelfth place. Schongau urgently needs three points to have a say in the race for the pre-play-offs. To turn things around, Schongau brought in a new coach, Ty Morris, who replaced Christian Kratzmeir. He will try to get the team out of the lower table region. A positive aspect is the return of Grayden Gottschalk, a former top scorer.

Farewell and new beginnings

Another important point this week will be the farewell to Adam Hilser, who is leaving the ECP after the game on Sunday. Stupid for the team, but ECP department head Robert Huber regrets the departure and had high hopes for Hilser. The ECP 1b team also has an important game this weekend, playing against the 1b representation of EHC Waldkraiburg at 5:30 p.m. We can't wait to see how the games develop and whether EC Pfaffenhofen will bring home the best Christmas presents in the form of points.
