Coach Vener's comments: "We had some meetings during the New Year, practises were scheduled instead of having days off and changes in the lineup were made. The situation isn't anything great but we were worse off last year and managed to come out on top".
In their first game of 2013, HC Kometa welcomes HC Vitkovice Steel, who played last week in the prestigious Spengler Cup.
Lineups for both teams should be at full strength after the holidays with only a few changes as Kometa welcomes back defencemen Jozef Kovacik, and Vitkovice look forward to having Viktor Ujcik, Mark Malik and Per Strapac back on the ice.
