The younger boys suffered another defeat in a fairly even match

On Saturday, September 26, a new match in the national championship of the U-13 selections was scheduled. Our racing kites didn’t start the season the way they wanted. They suffered two defeats in three matches. It is true that the defeats were close and it is true that our young Dragons are missing some important players at the beginning of the season due to injuries. We hoped that the season in Bled would turn in the right direction. Some signs of optimism are visible, but unfortunately there has not been a turnaround yet…

The match started very evenly. In the first part of the game, the teams exchanged some exclusions. But there have been no hits here yet. In the second third, our players played with the player more on the ice several times, but there were no goals here either. At the same time, the locals were slowly taking the initiative. In the first part of the match, the ratio of shots was equal to 8: 8, and in the second part of the game, the home team was already leading 14: 6 in this statistic.

In the third part of the game, the initiative of the home team decreased a bit. In the 43rd minute, our young dragons even had a great opportunity. At the same time, two home players were ruled out and our young fighters had two full minutes for the first goal of the match. Unfortunately, they did not take advantage of this. However, the home team took advantage of their opportunity as soon as they slipped in full force. In the 46th minute, they took the lead with 1: 0. 1: 0 is not a high advantage in hockey, but in today's game the advantage seemed very high. The match was finally decided in the 53rd minute, when the home team scored for the second time and made sure that the final of the match was resolved before it really started.

The head coach was also very dissatisfied with today's performance and the new defeat Igor Beribak"I'm not satisfied. We should have won the match, but we played badly and irresponsibly in important moments. I really hope it finally opens up for us, but the start of the season is really not good!".

In the remaining matches, Slavia beat VSV 10:4, Jesenice beat Triglav 6:4, HDD Bled beat Maribor 5:4 (after penalty kicks), and KAC beat Celje 14:1.

Our young dragons will be looking for a new point and a new impetus for a better start to the season in the next championship match, which will be on Saturday, October 3 in Tivoli. The HDD Bled team is coming to the guests. The match will be available for viewing on the Youtube channel of HK SŽ Olimpija. You are invited to visit.
