Feltreghiaccio — Valpellice, IHL

Feltracchio hosted Valpellice in the Italian Hockey League on Saturday evening, 3 October 2026, and came away with a 0:3 defeat. The visitors took all three points without much trouble, while the hosts remain rooted at the bottom of the table. To be fair, neither side has much to show after three games — both sit on zero points with one win and two losses each.

The scoreline tells a simple story: Valpellice found the net three times and kept a clean sheet. Feltracchio, meanwhile, have now lost three in a row and have not managed to earn a single point. By then you start to wonder whether the problem is tactical or just bad luck.

Recent form does not help either club. Feltracchio beat Valdifiemme 4:2 on 1 October before losing to Aosta, while Valpellice lost 2:5 to Aosta in their last outing. Neither run suggests stability — but Valpellice's away performance was decisive.

We had tipped Feltracchio for victory at 54 per cent confidence, and that prediction did not hold. The visitors refused to go away and made their chances count. One mistake ends it in hockey, and the hosts made too many of them.

The gap at the bottom remains tight, but Valpellice have now moved ahead on head-to-head. Feltracchio will need to find something — a better structure, sharper finishing — if they are to avoid a winless start.
