Three weeks after the last game, the 1992 Steinbach Black Wings return to the ICE Hockey League on Saturday (5.30 pm) against the Dornbirn Bulldogs, and therefore in intense weeks.
A total of 19 games are scheduled until the end of the year. Until November 29, the people of Linz play partly on a two-day rhythm.
Many question marks
It is known that the team is currently only ninth in the table. However, it is questionable in what condition he will return to the ice after a total of eight corona cases within the team or supervisory personnel (none with severe symptoms).
“How fit are you? How are you? How do you handle the general situation? We should not wait too long, we want to take small steps, ”emphasized manager Gregor Baumgartner. “It is important that no one suffers any consequential harm.” The healthy players continued to train normally, but were in quarantine as foreseen in the league concept.
Today’s opponent has already played twice this week after the forced ice hockey break due to (too many) Corona cases: 4: 3 at KAC and 5: 6 at Villach, each after a penalty shoot-out. .
RB has to keep waiting
By the way, hygiene measures in Linz were not increased after the Corona accumulation, because “the rules are already very strict”. In addition, the crew cabin has its own filtering system against viruses and bacteria. However, complete isolation is not possible.
In any case, the coronavirus completely turned the game plan upside down and the improvised one did not last long either. Red Bull Salzburg’s forced layoff has been extended and next week’s matches against KAC and Bozen have been canceled.
