After winning the AHL derby
The Zell Polar Bears stormed to the top of the table
Zell's Eisbären turned the derby against the Red Bull Hockey Juniors around on Saturday evening and clearly won 5:2, taking the Pinzgau team to the top of the Alps Hockey League table.
After 40 minutes of play, the young ice bulls sensed their chance on Saturday. Coach Teemu Levijoki's crew were 2:1 ahead in front of 2401 spectators in Zell am See after goals from Laurin Sandholzer and Paul Vinzens - Daniel Ban scored for the Pinzgau team. Before the Polar Bears took a bite out of home ice!
After 51:35 minutes and goals from Maximilian Wilfang and Bernhard Fechtig, the home side had already turned the game around under the direction of coach Marcel Rodman.
"Showing character"
Matt McLeod and Hubert Berger scored with an empty-net goal to make it clear in the second Salzburg derby. Final score: 5:2.
While the Juniors mourned their victory, the home side were jubilant. "After a rusty start, we got into the game better and better," said defender Fechtig. "In the third period, as so often, we showed character and were able to turn the game around."
With the win, the tenth in the 14th game of the season, the Polar Bears climbed to the top of the Alps Hockey League table. That's how they like to go into the international break. The Juniors are in seventh place.
