League opener in Zalaegerszeg
We’re kicking off the Andersen League’s fifth season – which features a record number of teams – with an away fixture: we’ll be taking to the ice as guests of the Egerszegi Titánok on Saturday at 7.30 pm (AL 50). We’re kicking off the season as defending champions — having won the league for the third time in a row last spring.
The two teams have met four times in the league so far, and we have won all four matches, most recently in January this year, on this very same ice, by 11–1. The league table, however, is now a clean slate for everyone: in the Western Group, seven teams will be battling it out for a place in the upper half of the table.
Hungarian Cup at the Tüskecsarnok
The next competitive match comes just two days after the league opener. In the first round of the Hungarian Cup qualifiers, we’ll be facing BJA U21 on Monday evening at the Tüskecsarnok in Budapest (MK 1). The exact kick-off time will be announced later.
Our senior teams have not yet faced each other. In last year’s competition, the DVTK Jegesmedvék knocked us out of the tournament.
Domestic debut on 3 October
The domestic season kicks off on Saturday at 6.00 pm at the Győr University Ice Sports Centre: we’re hosting the Andersen League newcomers, the Kárpáti Farkasok (AL 46). It’s worth noting the start time — for the rest of the season’s home matches, the scheduled kick-off is 5.30 pm, so on this day the puck will drop half an hour later.
This is the first time in the club’s history that Érd have fielded a senior team, so this will be our very first match against them. Tickets and season tickets are available on our ticketing page via the Cooltix system.
Even after such a busy start, we’re not slowing down: on 10 October, MAC Budapest AHC will be visiting us at our home ground. The full fixture list is available on our fixtures page. Hajrá UNI GYŐR ETO!
