Italy: Euthanasia of a championship

Although not accepted in the EBEL, Renon and Val Pusteria, finalists of the series A, would have the 'intention to move in any case in Austria and with them Sterzing, the third of the regular season, and Gardena.

Let's start with the facts: three summers ago Bolzano salut memorize options all enrolled at most Austrian league, the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga, winning all''esordio (2013/14) and going to the playoffs the next two seasons. Between last Christmas and the month of January, the two dominating the regular season of Serie A, currently engaged in the final for the title, Rittner Buam and Puster lodged a formal application for admission to the same EBEL. Aware of the difficulties & agrave; input, the leaders also were with the Austrian dell''Hockey leaders to set up a kind of Ebel II with Austrian teams, Italian first band and other nations. And in addition to the two aforementioned teams also Sterzing Gardena and they showed their interest. The meeting of the Steering Committee of the EBEL yesterday confirmed that assessments of sustainability & agrave; economic and especially the catchment area are preferred Budapest and Jesenice in the case or the 'Olimpija Zagreb renounce participation or the alloy allargasse to 14 teams. We memorize options although it seems that the 'pi & ugrave assumptions; likely to be a EBEL II which would move the first three forces of the Italian Championship and the Gardena. Gazzetta dello Sport, the federal president, Andrea Gios commented "" We can not keep them from emigrating but & egrave; clear that will not be in contention for the Italian title. " If all of us memorize options They experience the Italian Championship, cos & igrave; how you & egrave; seen in years, it would be destined to be further downsized. "We can not be without Milan without his story and his passion. Retrieval of this, after l & rsquo; autoretrocessione last year, & egrave; the first goal. But at the same time are fundamental reality & agrave; as Valpellice, with its outlet on Torino, Varese , Como or Merano, which Wednesday & igrave; won the series B in front of over 2,000 spectators. " If gi & agrave; the present & egrave; It was a narrow-gauge championship, reality & agrave; that may arise enthusiasts sarebb & egrave; that of an even more & ugrave tournament; technically poor and unable to attract investment to support it. As gi & agrave; supported in the past, we believe that the dell''Hockey movement can not be separated from the big city & agrave; North like Turin and Milan, although the Milanese leadership puts conditions ( "do not give up no club, we grow young people and we are very careful to foreign speech" the president said Best). and historic squares although at this time into the background as Meran and Alleghe. By coming to terms with the veterans of the series A (Cortina, Asiago, Fassa, Valpellice), Milan, Merano, Como and Varese, Alleghe you will come to a tournament of 8 teams, 10 will be optimistic. The scenario in any case, and forgive us the protagonists, would be bleak, but we must start from here. Registration guaranteed only upon presentation of plans for sustainability & agrave; Economic with a breath of at least three years, reducing or grouping of trips (quest''anno only in the regular season have been 21) in order not to weigh on the accounts of companies & agrave ;, television coverage throughout the tournament, restoring the mechanism of promotion and relegation the new B series: these are the aspects on which to focus for not closing the whole 'Italian all''Hockey oxygen.
