Interrupted Gamebetween Riessersee and Peiting

In a dramatic turn of events at the TQ-Cup, hosted by EC Peiting, SC Riessersee secured third place with a thrilling 9:5 shootout victory over their opponents. The game, however, was abandoned due to a broken ice panel, a rare occurrence that left both teams in suspense.

The game saw SC Riessersee's new goalie, Patrik Muhlberger, from Rosenheim, making two mistakes, but their star performer, Andreas Mechel, in the goalie position, was exceptional in the shootout, frustrating all ten Peiting players.

Despite numerous chances, SC Riessersee suffered a narrow 1:2 defeat against Sterzing Broncos in the main game. The ice at the venue did not meet the required standards, leading to the broken ice panel, about 30 by 20 centimeters and three centimeters thick, revealing concrete and L-profiles of the flexible banding. The probability of the ice panel breaking again and causing injury to a player was deemed too high, leading to the game's abandonment.

The hosts, EC Peiting, were more efficient in the game, with every shot resulting in a goal. Nevertheless, SC Riessersee showcased their dominance in the game for third place, with goals from Alex Benkert, Tobias Echtler, Tobias Kircher, and Christopher Chyzowski.

In the shootout, five SC Riessersee players scored, securing the victory. It's worth noting that the name of the goalkeeper who was used in the shootout is not mentioned in the provided search results.

Looking ahead, SC Riessersee will play test games against Rostock and KitzbΓΌhel next weekend, as they hope to play on home ice that meets the requirements in their upcoming games. Their training facility, Olympia-Eissportzentrum, will be ready for use from Tuesday.

The TQ-Cup was a competitive tournament, with Sterzing Broncos emerging as the winners with a score of 4:1. The final standings of the tournament saw Sterzing Broncos in first place, HC Meran in second, and SC Riessersee in third. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, SC Riessersee can take pride in their resilience and determination, demonstrated in the shootout.
