The EHC Klostersee is Bavarian Ice Hockey Champion.

In the decisive match against TEV Miesbach, Dominik Quinlan's team deservedly prevailed in a long open game with 4:1 goals.

Grafing

– The Grafing town band provided a worthy start to what was definitely the last Bayernliga game of 2021/22, standing on the ice and getting the audience in the crowded ranks in the right mood with the Bayern anthem.

The face-off went to Bob Wren and thus to the EHC, who quickly swallowed the first penalty time.

This gave the guests the opportunity to take matters into their own hands, even without a compelling chance to score.

The red and white seemed a bit nervous, with Miesbach the puck ran better through the rearranged rows.

Gennaro Hördt had the 1-0 on the bat after a great run by Vitus Gleixner, but he missed the far corner (6th).

Anian Geratsdorfer would have been beaten.

The “would be” had to be deleted in return and the face-off won.

Philipp Hähl's view was blocked by Andreas Nowak's precise long-range shot to make it 0:1 (7th).

There it was again, the deficit that Grafinger wanted to avoid at all costs.

Most of their own attacks ended a bit hastily, but shortly before the third break Marinus Kritzenberger failed to make it 1-1.

The pressure from the EHClers increased in segment two.

And again Hördt had a 100 percent chance, but the lead continued (23rd).

Klostersee did not give up.

The well-deserved equalizer in the 31st minute.

Captain Bernd Rische passed to Wren and the Canadian passed to Florian Engel, who overcame Geratsdorfer on his stick hand side.

From then on, the TEV was under a lot of pressure and received a number of suspensions.

The Grafinger created chances in a row, but didn't find the gap, the guest box seemed nailed down.

In the last third, the running and power-intensive forechecking was reduced a bit.

Simply to avoid taking full risk and possibly just failing the one crucial time and falling behind.

The EHC stayed tuned and was more active in front of the opponent's goal.

And finally rewarded himself.

Engel was again responsible for the 2:1 (48th).

The almost 1600 spectators in the barn stood upside down.

All the more so when Engel with a five-minute majority – Sebastian Deml had to make it 3-1 after a check against the head against Philipp Quinlan, who was led into the dressing room in a daze – to make it 3-1 (53rd).

The EHC played it down coolly the rest of the time.

Four seconds before the siren the 4:1.

By whom?

Of course angels.
