The ice hackers from Dorfen had an unexpected break on Thursday.
But it will continue on Sunday.
Dorfen - The puck hunters of the ESC Dorfen can take a quick breath.
Actually, they should have played the catch-up game at TSV Peißenberg on Thursday evening.
But a few hours before the bus departure, the miners canceled the game because there were two suspected cases in the team during the midday corona test.
The ice pirates will only continue at the beginning of the year on Sunday at 5.30 p.m. at home against the ERSC Amberg "Wild Lions".
The Upper Palatinate, who only moved up into the top Bavarian amateur class last season, and for whom the competition from November, as for all competitors, was quickly over due to the pandemic, are currently in the coveted eighth place in the table - with a considerable lead.
To avoid the pursuit of Erding.
When Königsbrunn and Schweinfurt come closer again, the "Wild Lions" will do everything in their power to take away the points in Dorfen against the heavily staffed ice pirates.
In the first leg, the Dorfener made a 3-1 up to the second break, only to be defeated 3: 5 after the 3: 3 in the 50th minute by goals from Mario Strobel in the majority and the American Ryan Murphy 3: 5.
The spectator Croesus has strengthened itself effectively.
The new signings Marco Ponrath (11 goals, 25 assists), US boy Murphy (15 goals, 18 assists) and Canadian Brett Mennear (10 goals, 20 assists) make the “music”.
The team from Upper Palatinate demonstrated team unity, especially in the local ice rink at the Schanzl.
There are victories against the top teams Miesbach (5: 4), Klostersee (3: 2 after extra time) and Peißenberg (7: 6 after extra time) to book.
In the Sunday game in Dorfen, the compact and broadly well-staffed troop of the coaching team Dan Heilmann and Bernhard Keil is favored.
At the ESC, the Slovenian drivers Gasper Susanj and Florian Fischer are missing, especially on the defensive, so that only four trained defenders were available at the end of the day.
“I don't know what I said, that 'we are particularly hot,” complained recently ESC head coach Franz Steer, who hopes that the camp of the injured and sick people will be cleared again by mid-January.

Test possibilities
The ESC Dorfen now offers for every home game from one hour before each game to carry out self-tests under supervision in the stadium restaurant (adjoining room).
Entrance is through the beer garden.
Otherwise the 2G rule applies.
