This week we have learnt the
definitive configuration of the semifinals of the regional competition Erste
Liga. The latest play-off match took place in Budapest on Monday pitching Ferencváros
against the Polar Bears of Miskolc. Ferencvaros won the match 2-1 sealing a 4-2
win on aggregate and advancing to the competition’s semifinals. There they will
be playing another Hungarian side, Budapest Jégkorong Akadémia, which secured a
4-0 play-off win against FEHA 19. The other two sides vying for a place in the
finals come from Romania and they are ACSH Gheorgheni and Corona Braşov. ACSH
clinched a 4-0 aggregate win against Hungarian side Dunaújváros, while Corona
outperformed Sport Club Miercurea Ciuc 4-1.

Out of the three Romanian sides
in the best-of-seven contest, two have qualified for the semifinals. Sport Club
Miercurea Ciuc was stopped in its tracks by Corona, after winning the latest
two editions of the Erste League. In 2021, the side from Harghita secured a 4-2
aggregate win against Corona Braşov and a year later obtained a 4-1 win against
Hungarian side Ferencváros.

Eight sides played in the
National Championships. Apart from the aforementioned Gheorgheni, Miercurea
Ciuc and Brasov, the Bucharest sides Steaua and Sportul Studentesc joined the competition
and so did CSM Galati, Fenestela 68 and Sapientia U23. Although the season isn’t
over yet, we already know three of the sides directly qualified for the
play-offs, namely Corona, Steaua and Gheorgheni

Galati, Fenestela, Miercurea ciuc
and Sapientia will be vying for the fourth place. Sport Club Miercurea Ciuc is
the defending champion.
