During the regular season, the UNI GYŐR ETO HC Andersen League team lost just two of their 16 matches, with the lads going on to win their final eight matches in a row. In the play-offs, their first opponents will be LEHEL HC, who finished eighth; the best-of-three series kicks off in Győr on Wednesday 15 February at 7 pm. The next match will take place on 21 February at 7.35 pm in Jászberény.
There are very few statistics in the Andersen League’s regular season in which the team or one of our players isn’t at the top of the table. We scored the most goals – 110 to be precise – and, just as pleasingly, we also conceded the fewest (38). Márk Nagy found the net 27 times during the regular season and, including his assists, finished with 46 points, 13 points clear of the rest of the field. There were no complaints about Martin Szeles and Ákos Mészáros in goal either; both performed well above 90 per cent.
Of course, there is still room for improvement in our game; we’re in the middle of the table in terms of the number of red cards we’ve received, although it’s true that we’re by far the best in the league at defending when we’re down to ten men. Out of 65 power-play situations, we kept a clean sheet on 59 occasions! It’s also true that our power-play statistics are among the worst; we failed to convert 9 out of 10 power-play opportunities into goals.
According to the schedule, the first step in the play-offs is to beat LEHEL HC twice; then, to reach the final, a team must win three matches, and the champion will be crowned at the end of March after winning three matches in the final as well.
You still don’t need to buy a ticket for our matches; they are free to attend.
