The ice hockey team Olimpija defeated Milano 5-4 in the 15th round of the ICE league in Ljubljana. The match began with a strong offensive start by the home side, who capitalized on early power plays to take a lead through goals by Nicolai Meyer, Jan Urbas, and Marcel Mahkovec. Although Milano reduced the deficit during the second period, Mahkovec scored his second goal before the end of the middle third to extend the advantage. In the final period, Olimpija maintained control despite a late goal by David Lindquist, successfully defending their lead until the final whistle. This victory marks the eighth win for the Ljubljana-based club in the expanded Austrian championship, while their opponents remain at the bottom of the 14-team league table.
HK Olimpija defeated newly promoted Milano 5-4 on Sunday at the Tivoli Hall in Ljubljana, securing their eighth victory in the expanded Austrian league season. The win came just two days after the Ljubljana team suffered a home loss to Hungarian side Fehervar. With 1,991 spectators watching, the hosts recovered from a mid-game scare to hold off a determined Italian comeback, ending the match with a one-goal advantage. The game opened with immediate intensity for the home side. In the second minute, Milano’s Diego Kostner was penalized for an illegal board check. Capitalizing on the numerical advantage, Nicolai Meyer scored the opening goal, assisted by Bine Masic and James Brennan. Three minutes later, captain Jan Urbas extended the lead to 2-0 with a shot from the blue line that found its way past goalkeeper Edoardo Berti. Milano responded quickly in the sixth minute when Swedish forward David Lindquist cut the deficit to 2-1, assisted by Lucas Chiodo who won the puck in the offensive zone following an error by the hosts. Olimpija regained control shortly thereafter. With one second remaining on a penalty against Milano’s Gregg McKegg for tripping, Marcel Mahkovec struck from the left side to make it 3-1. This goal was also credited as a power play marker. The first period ended with the hosts leading comfortably. The second period began with another strong performance by the Ljubljana squad. In the 26th minute, Samuel Houde lost possession near his own net. Luka Gomboc intercepted the puck and passed to Zigas Mehle, who fired a powerful shot between Berti’s legs to increase the margin to 4-1. However, the high lead appeared to lull the hosts into complacency. Between the 29th and 32nd minutes, Milano mounted a rapid counterattack. Blake McLaughlin, assisted by Houde, pulled one back to make it 4-2. Just two minutes later, Nick Caamano skillfully pushed the puck past goalkeeper Lukas Horak to narrow the gap to 4-3. Before the end of the middle frame, Mahkovec restored the two-goal cushion. Assisted by Brennan for the third time in the game, Mahkovec deflected the puck off Berti’s leg and into the net in the 38th minute, making the score 5-3. Despite this, Milano generated several dangerous shots during the final minute of the period, though Horak remained in position to deny them further goals. In the final period, Olimpija controlled much of the play until the 55th minute. Lindquist scored his second goal of the night, sliding the puck in front of the net after a shot by Michael Dal Colle, reducing the deficit to 5-4. The tension rose in the closing moments as Milano pushed for an equalizer. With roughly ninety seconds remaining, Berti left his crease to join the attack, giving Milano six skaters on the ice. The visitors failed to force a tie, and the hosts defended successfully to preserve the lead. The final shot count stood at 45-33 in favor of the winners. Coach Ben Cvooper expressed dissatisfaction with the team's performance in Friday’s 2-3 loss to Fehervar, promising a completely different display. That promise was largely kept, particularly in the aggressive opening sequence. The victory brings Olimpija to 26 points in the standings. They currently sit fourth in the 14-team league table. The team faces injury concerns ahead of upcoming fixtures. Zigas Jeglic sustained a lower body injury during Friday’s match against Fehervar and is expected to miss several weeks. Chris Douglas is also sidelined due to injury but is anticipated to return soon. Clayton Kirichenko will remain absent for the longest duration following surgery. Olimpija has three matches scheduled before the international break. On Wednesday, October 28, they travel to Feldkirch to face Vorarlberg, which sits last in the league with only one point from 15 games. On Friday, they host Vienna at home. The schedule concludes on Sunday with an away trip to Milano. Other results from the 15th round included Bolzano defeating KAC Celovec 5-2, Linz beating Ferencvaros 6-2, Salzburg winning 7-2 against Vorarlberg, and Fehervar losing 1-3 to Pustertal. Beljak defeated Innsbruck 4-0, while Graz edged Vienna 3-2. The current league standing shows Bolzano and Linz tied at the top with 33 points each. KAC Celovec follows with 27 points. Olimpija holds fourth place with 26 points, level with Pustertal. Graz has 23 points, followed by Salzburg with 22. Beljak, Vienna, and Milano all have 20 points. Fehervar sits with 16 points, while Ferencvaros and Innsbruck share 15 points each. Vorarlberg remains at the bottom with one point.
