As often happens in this period will be , a challenge that will face two teams that are experiencing a moment diametrically opposed to the results achieved in the league. The team Collalbo through a moment of enthusiasm for the position of high rank occupied by'' since the beginning of the season. The results that have accompanied the team of coach Ron Wilson have allowed the Ritten to be part of a trio completed by Val Pusteria Asiago and you will definitely play the first position until the end of the regular season. For this important victory in the Italian Cup, the second time for the association of the Plateau of South Tyrol, after that always won against the Val Pusteria in 2009/10, the team has not made Collalbo miss anything. Well you have inserted the veteran Patrick Rissmiller has increased the quality of the attack of the "Ritten Buam", however, already effective, as the best defense in the league.
