First against second: This is what fans in the BOSSARD Arena can expect next Sunday when the EVZ Women’s Team meets the HC Davos Ladies. Both teams are favorites in their games on Saturday. Zug travels to second-last placed Neuchâtel Hockey Academy (6 p.m., Patinoire secondaire). EVZ won the first game 5:0. The Davos team will visit the fifth-placed HCAP Girls, whom they have already beaten twice.

The Zug girls won their first encounter with the Grisons side 4:3 on penalties. Zug’s captain Lara Stalder shone as scorer both in the game and in the deciding phase. The PostFinance Women’s League’s top scorer recently suffered a concussion in a training session with the national team. She is the third EVZ player – after Julia Näf and Annika Fazokas – to be sidelined for this reason. Keyword Nati: The Swiss women lost all three games at the Euro Hockey Tour in Sweden. The only goal – in the 2:1 defeat against the hosts – was scored by EVZ forward Rahel Enzler.

Back to the PostFinance Women’s League. Sunday’s game is all about families. In cooperation with LE NERIMA, fans can bring a plush animal into the stadium and throw it onto the ice at the first EVZ goal (or when called upon by the announcer). The plush toys collected will be donated to children in need. There is also a rich program for visitors.

Young people up to the age of 17 and senior citizens aged 65 and over have free admission to the BOSSARD Arena.
