With last night's victory at the Corner Arena in game 3, the U20 elite ofHockey Club Lugano closed the playoff semifinal series against Davos 3-0 in their favour.
The boys, led by Luca Gianinazzi and Gianluca Prato, will go into the final act undefeated since the beginning of the playoffs, having beaten first Kloten in the quarter-finals and now Davos in the semifinals with a 3-0 victory in the series.
The final series will also be played under the Best of Five formula.
I bianconeri are now waiting to know the name of the opposing team on which the schedule of games and the game theater will also depend. In the other semifinal, Zug (sixth in Regular Season) actually leads 2-1 in the series against Biel/Bienne, which had finished in the lead in the first phase of the season.
In the meantime, the HCL enjoys the joy of having found the final act of the playoff in the top youth category eight years after the last final played in the 2013/14 season.
For Luca Gianinazzi's team and staff, second in the Regular Season standings for the third consecutive year, this is a well-deserved satisfaction after the cancellation of the playoffs on the eve of the finals in 2020 due to the pandemic and the bronze medal last spring.
