Caldaro beat Pergine 7:0 in the Italian Ice Hockey League on Saturday. The visitors took all three points on the road, extending their perfect start to the campaign. Pergine remain winless after four matches, sitting ninth on the table.
By then Caldaro had already proven their form. They beat Phas 3:0, Varèse 6:3, and Appiano 6:1 in the opening rounds. Pergine's results were mixed — a victory over Pustertal Juniors but losses to Phas, Varèse and Fassa. The gap between them was clear from the outset.
And here's the thing about that scoreline. Seven goals without reply is not a close match. It is a statement. Caldaro found no answer from Pergine's defence and made no mistakes of their own. The hosts did not travel to make up the numbers — they were simply outclassed.
We had called for the away win before kick-off, 64 per cent confidence. The result confirms the reading. Caldaro have the deeper squad and the sharper edge. Pergine lost their man in key moments and came for crosses they never reached. The incident was not one moment but a pattern across sixty minutes.
The standings show Caldaro top of the table with four wins from four. Pergine sit ninth with zero points and three defeats. The goal difference tells its own story — Caldaro are already building a cushion. This was not a tight game. It was a straight knockout.
