SC Forst is confident about the season in the regional league.
That has to do with the size of the squad.
Forst
- 25 field players and three goalkeepers are on the squad list at SC Forst for the coming season.
The national division has never had so many players at its disposal.
The team, which is now being trained by a team of coaches - Armin Dallmayr and Martin Kirschner - was given fresh strength, mainly from Bayernliga neighbors EA Schongau and TSV Peißenberg.
"Thanks to these experienced players, the team has increased its playing strength," said Forst's spokesman Werner Schilcher.
Ice hockey: With Andreas Scholz returning, SC Forst has secure support between the posts
With Andreas Scholz, who returned to the "Nature Boyz" from Peißenberg, the Forsters have a strong goalkeeper who has two representatives behind him in Markus Kieslich and newcomer Daniel Hilgner.
In defense, in addition to captain Manfred Guggemos, the two new defenders Michael Fichtl and Tobias Zimmert ensure the necessary routine.
There are also seven other defenders who leave the coaching duo a lot of choice.
On the offensive, too, the SCF has a good mix of old warhorses like Klaus Müller or Bastian Grundner as well as young attackers, who were neatly increased in number by Sebastian Sutter, Simon Fend and Shamir Baloch.
Ice hockey: training sessions with a former professional triathlete and a professional boxer
According to Schilcher, things went very well in the summer preparation, during which, among other things, special units were held with the former professional triathlete Stefan Schmid and the professional boxer Alex Rigas.
The test matches were always tight, apart from the 5: 9 bankruptcy against Trostberg at the end.
“In most games, the team was superior in terms of play, but could not convert this into goals,” said Schilcher.
The extent to which the coaching team was able to eliminate this weakness at the end of the season by the start of the season will be shown this Friday at the home game against ERC Lechbruck (8 p.m., Peißenberg ice stadium).
Against the promoted team, the Forster won a 2-1 win in the friendly about a month ago.
"The ERC has a good squad, it will certainly not be easy," said Schilcher.
One of Lechbruck's two contingent players, the Canadian Jason Lavallee, is still banned after his game penalty, which he picked up in this very game.
Where it will go this time for the Forster, who had to tremble over relegation in recent years, is just as uncertain as the further development of ice hockey games in the Corona crisis.
“It's hard to set a seasonal goal in these circumstances.
However, we are aiming for fourth or fifth place in order to secure the league remaining with the achievement of the promotion round in a sporty way ”, said Schilcher.
