EHC Kloten: Gearing Up for Upcoming Challenges

Confronting SC Bern Post Initial Triumph

Larry Mitchell, the Sports Director of EHC Kloten, has been meticulously studying SC Bern’s disciplined defensive gameplay, emphasizing the need for his team to maintain patience and exploit scoring opportunities to secure a positive outcome.

Mitchell highlighted the effectiveness of a similar power play as with EV Zug, where all three power plays were successfully leveraged. He expressed that replicating this strategy would be advantageous for the team in the upcoming match.

Anticipating First Home Victory Against Lausanne HC

The next home match for EHC Kloten is slated for Friday, September 22, 2023, against Lausanne HC. The team is hopeful of securing their first home victory. The intent is to echo their dominant performance from the initial 15 minutes against Ambri.

Mitchell noted that Lausanne HC, having significantly strengthened their team during the summer, managed to recover from two initial losses with a substantial victory last Saturday. Drawing from pre-season insights, Mitchell expressed awareness of both teams’ strengths and weaknesses. Tickets for the home match against Lausanne are available online.

Preparing for Special Match Against SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers

The following day, Saturday, September 23, 2023, EHC Kloten will encounter SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers, a match always deemed special. The first encounter of the 2023/24 season will witness EHC Kloten playing away against the Lakers. Considering their away victory in Zug, Mitchell expressed confidence in his team’s prospects, asserting that anything is possible.

He also acknowledged that the Lakers, having participated in the Champions Hockey League before the commencement of the National League, have a well-coordinated team. This makes the upcoming match a significant challenge, but EHC Kloten is prepared to face it head-on.

Looking Ahead
