After the match, we meet at the rural festival, in the pine forest near the stadium, organized by HC Alta Badia, where the team will also be present.

What has been renamed the ‘Derby of Champions’ will see the two most successful teams in Italy face off, Bolzano, with its 90-year history, and Cortina, which this year celebrates its centenary: the red, white and blue-white, protagonists of many tricolour battles, will meet again more than 11 years after the last time (January 2, 2013, round 33 of the Italian championship with the Foxes winning 3-1 at the Palaonda, thanks to goals from Doregatti, McCutcheon and Flynn).

Coach Hanlon will be able to count on all members of the roster, including the youngsters who joined the withdrawal, with the exception of Enrico Improvinzi, Mike Halmo and Anthony Salinitri, who have been doing different work in recent days.
