Kaltern made a statement on 19 September 2026. They dismantled Pustertal Juniors 8-0 in the Italian Hockey League. The scoreline reflected a complete dominance.
And here's the thing: it wasn't close. The final score of 8-0 tells the whole story. 8 goals to nothing speaks for itself.
To be fair, the standings tell a different story. Both sides sit on 0 games and 0 points. It is a fresh start for everyone involved, but Kaltern acted like veterans who know the game, having played through a difficult period.
Kaltern came in with confidence after a tough April. They had beaten Aosta 3 times in 5 games. 2 losses didn't shake their resolve.
Pustertal Juniors found no answer. The visitors were kept quiet all game. 8 goals to nothing leaves a mark. By then, the hierarchy was already shifting.
The rest of the league will have to chase. There is work to do for the other teams. The season has barely begun, but Kaltern has set the pace.
