Five new positive PCR tests at SC Riessersee, so seven players and one person from the immediate vicinity of the team are currently infected.

The next duel has already been cancelled, as have all Sunday games in the ice hockey Oberliga Süd.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen –

Slowly but surely, the corona virus is killing off the ice hockey Oberliga Süd.

Games have been canceled for weeks.

At first it was only one, two, then there were more and more.

This development reached its peak on Sunday yesterday.

There was not a single game in the southern relay.

Only one duel took place on Friday.

Fears come true

SC Riessersee last fought for points on Sunday, January 16th. Since then there has also been a standstill in the white-blues. The corona virus struck. Two players and one person from the immediate vicinity of the team tested positive. Another series of PCR tests followed on Friday. All previously negative actors made the unpleasant acquaintance with the chopstick again. Managing Director Pana Christakakis had already feared that further positive cases would come to light in view of the three positive rapid tests. This has not only come true, but has even been surpassed in a negative sense. The list of corona cases has become significantly longer, five new ones have been added. Seven Riesserseer players are currently infected and are in domestic isolation.

"As of today, we don't get the necessary 9+1 players together."

The consequence: there will be no game with SCR participation in the coming days either.

The game scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, at the Eisbären Regensburg has already been cancelled.

Christakakis also sees black for the coming weekend: "As of today we don't get the necessary 9 + 1 players together." Because the SCR has to do without the seven infected for a longer time.

They all have to go through the return-to-play protocol first.

Normally, an actor who tests positive for Corona is classified as playable again after 14 days at the earliest.

In addition, other players are currently absent due to illness or injury.

The rest of the squad resumes team training

At least one mini-team consisting of the rest of the squad will return to the ice this Monday or tomorrow Tuesday.

After a week's break, in which only individual units were unwound, team training is back on the program.

The goal: to keep fit for the day when points in the league are at stake again.

Like the SCR, almost the entire league is currently doing.

Last Friday only the Landsbergers dueled with the Memmingers.

But the Indians players are now involuntarily free, as positive quick tests followed on Saturday.

Quotient regulation threatened

In view of the tense situation and the number of canceled games, Riessersee's managing director is now assuming that not all teams will be able to complete the full number of main round games planned.

Then the classification before the playoffs would have to be calculated again using the quotient rule.
