While the Lions are expected to win the tournament, Thun hopes to surpass their performance of last year and move to the final. For Neuchâtel and Weinfelden, who both missed the playoffs, it will be about trying to end their season on a positive note and take home a bronze medal.
Neuchâtel will definitely have the chance to beat Thun in the semifinals, even though Thun won three out of four games against them in the championship. SC Weinfelden's odds in that regard are definitely worse. A victory over the Lions would be a huge surprise.
Schedule of the tournament:
Saturday, January 27, 2018, 2.30 pm: Neuchâtel Hockey Academy vs Bomo Thun. 5 pm: SC Weinfelden - ZSC Lions.
Sunday, January 28, 2018, 11.15 am: 3rd place game. 4.30 pm: Final.
