Huskies in Play Offs

European Women’s Hockey League (EWHL): league newcomer EC Graz Huskies beat the SKN Sabres St. Pölten 4-1 and secure the play off ticket. In the Budapest city derby MAC won 3-1…

This means the first league loss for Hokiklub Budapest in 2023-24 season and also the first derby win for MAC since February 5, 2022. The latter also climbed on 4^th place now by passing St. Pölten and Almaty. On the other side the Huskies secured their play off ticket in first season.

Now only 3 teams battle for the 8^th and last open spot in play offs. And all these teams will play on Sunday. At 11.15 a.m. Budapest Jegkorong Akademia will fight against the EVB Eagles South Tyrol. In a direct duel where loosing is practically forbidden for both of them, but especially for the guests from Italy. Because a Bolzano loss would mean even the theoretical chance is gone. Depending on the other result BJA could stay in the race at least mathematically. By the way – in the other game St. Pölten will play against the Lakers who are ahead of Budapest Academy with 4 points right now. So a day full of action can be expected.
