“Mammoths” start a mammoth program abroad

The EA Schongau has to complete numerous games in the Bavarian League in the near future.

It starts with the game at ERSC Amberg, which recently played big.

Schongau - EA Schongau did not have pre-Christmas stress like the neighbor EC Peiting, who had to work a night shift in Weiden before Christmas Eve (click here for the match report).

The "Mammuts" had no play in the Bayernliga yesterday, Thursday.

In the coming days, however, the team can look forward to an exhausting program with six games in two weeks.

On Sunday (6.30 pm) the EAS appointment hunt begins around the turn of the year with the guest appearance at the "Wild Lions" of the ERSC Amberg.

"They are very strong at home," says Schongau's coach Rainer Höfler about their neighbors with the same points, who started the season a bit difficult, but has been doing well for weeks now.

In the past six games, the Upper Palatinate have won five, including defeating the top teams from Klostersee and Peißenberg in catch-up games in their own hall.

"Amberg has two really strong storm rows," says Höfler about the fifth in the table.

So far, Marco Pronath (35 points / 11 goals / 24 assists), who came from Weiden, and the American Ryan Murphy (33 points / 16 goals / 17 assists) have been very conspicuous.

“It will be a really difficult task,” says Höfler with conviction. Most recently, the away win in Königsbrunn and the home win against Waldkraiburg gave his team a lot of self-confidence. “The team is in a good mood, that's why we want to take something with us from Amberg,” says Höfler, optimistically. The "Mammoths" won the first leg 5: 3. The confidence also stems from the somewhat improved staffing situation: contingent player Roman Tomanek, who recently suffered from back problems, can play again. And veteran Fritz Weinfurtner is also back on the ice. "With Fritzi you have to see how things are going after his three-week break," says Höfler, who can also fall back on one or the other sponsorship license player from EV Füssen.

"The cooperation with the EVF is going very well, with us the young players also get a lot of ice age," says Höfler, praising the cooperation with the Allgäuers.

The Füssener currently have big problems with their team in the major league and are only on the penultimate place.
