While the Geretsrieder ice hockey team is facing the difficult walk to leaders EHC Klostersee on Friday evening, the Sunday game against EHC Waldkraiburg was canceled.
There is a corona case among the guests.
Geretsried - Corona is not over yet. All ice hockey fans were reminded of this on Thursday: The Schweinfurt Mighty Dogs and EHC Königsbrunn canceled their Bayernliga games for this weekend. “Despite a vaccination rate of 95 percent within the team, several players tested positive. Those affected are already in quarantine, as are unvaccinated contacts. Everyone is fine, they have no or only mild symptoms, ”said the penguins. In the evening, the EHC Waldkraiburg also canceled both weekend games because of a case.
So much so that you would not get a team capable of playing together, it is not at ESC Geretsried. But the long list of injured gnaws at the substance of the team, which had to accept two rather narrow defeats in Schongau (2: 3) and Peißenberg (2: 4) after the opening win against Miesbach (6: 5 nV). And it doesn't get any easier: This Friday the River Rats will be guests at EHC Klostersee at 8 pm; the match on Sunday against Waldkraiburg is canceled.
"This is our third away game in a row," said Rudi Sternkopf before the appointment in Grafing.
The Klostersee started with four wins in four games, most recently in Dorfen (6: 1) and against Amberg (6: 3).
“This is a very compact and strong team at home,” the ESC coach knows about today's hosts, who have two key players from Canada in their ranks: 47-year-old Bob Wren and newcomer Lynnden Pastachak.
The River Rats, on the other hand, are still missing the two top strikers, Ondrej Horvath (hand) and Florian Strobl (adductors).
Josef Reiter has resumed training - whether he can already play is still open.
In return, Bernhard Jorde, who was recently ill, returns to the defense.
Sternkopf: "In Grafing, we just have to hold out against it for as long as possible."
