Having been beaten in game seven in the semi-finals in their first participation last year, the goals this season are clear for the oldest team in the Red Bull Hockey Academy: "The task is to get the puck to their goal and play physically," says Juniors goalkeeper Simon Wolf.
While the Red Bull Hockey Juniors finished the basic round and the Master Round in third place, Cortina still had to tremble for a place in the Master Round. However, the South Tyroleans played strongly in this round, securing second place and thus the right to play the Juniors at home in the play-off semi-finals. Cortina has won three out of four encounters so far in the 2023/24 season. As in the previous year, the Juniors therefore face a task that will not be easy.
