GSHC vs ZSC: send a message
Genève-Servette hosts the ZSC Lions this Friday at the Vernets ice rink. For their last home match of 2024, the Eagles want to finish in style in front of their home crowd. In addition, Jan Cadieux’s men are chasing points to move up the standings. Currently 11th, 10 points from 6th place, we will have to work hard and win big matches in order to give ourselves a chance of directly reaching the playoffs.
The Zurich residents, for their part, are the reigning champions and dominate the championship. They occupy 2nd place with 55 points in 26 matches (Davos is first, but with four more matches). Everything is going well with the Lions.
The two teams have faced each other twice this season, and each time, it was the Swiss-Germans who won. But the matches were very competitive, and it didn’t take much to see the Eagles win (2-1 defeats in overtime and 3-1).
Friday’s match at Les Vernets will be much more than a simple regular season meeting: each team will want to send a message. Since Tuesday evening, the two teams have known that they will face each other in the CHL semi-finals during the month of January. This promises an intense and competitive battle!
A match not to be missed, where the team hopes to receive the support of its supporters! There are not many places left for this meeting, the last tickets can be collected HERE!

On the program:

Henrik Tömmernes does us the honor of coming to the match! He will be present in the rink to support his former teammates, but he will also put on a show on the ice: during the pre-match (from 7:30 p.m.), during breaks, he will present the prize for the best player and he will come to meet you after the match at Prime’s!
He will hand out autographed cards and be at the bar to serve you! Don’t miss this moment!
Christmas match: Carrefour-Rue & Coulou action
