And two final participations changed into the titles. Last season showed its experience in the CHL too when Skelleftea made it to the final. But there lost the title with its long-standing rival from Lulea. Skelleftea's results in pre-season: Bjorkloven – Skelleftea 3:2so Linköping – Skelleftea 6:0 Djugarden – Skelleftea 2:1 Skelleftea's result in the CHL: Nitra – Skelleftea 2:4
		Bili Tygri Liberec For the team from the Northern part of the Czech Republic will be today's match the first appearance in this season. But so far in this pre-season time it will be the fifth game for Liberec. Bili Tygri (which in translation means "White Tigers") won three game and lost only one with another CHL team Sparta Prague. Liberec's results in pre-season: Liberec – Novokuznetsk 4:1 Sparta – Liberec 3:1 Liberec – Mlada Boleslav 4:3so Mlada Boleslav – Liberec 3:5
