Erste Liga is Central and Eastern Europe’s leading
\nice hockey interclub competition. It has reached its final stage. The winner of
\nthe Liga’s 2023 edition is ACSH Gheorghieni from Romania. It was for the fifth
\ntime running when a Romanian team won the trophy. We recall that in 2009, the
\nwinners were Hockey Club Cs\u00edkszereda. Sport Club Miercurea Ciuc walked away
\nwith the trophy in 2011, 2021 and 2022. Sport Club Miercurea Ciuc were defeated in three finals, while Corona
\nBrasov lost two finals. <\/p>\n

\nBra\u015fov and ACSH Gheorghieni. All three Romanian teams went past the first stage
\nand advanced to the quarterfinals, where Sport Club Miercurea Ciuc were unable

\na 4-3 aggregate win of Ferencvaros Budapest against J\u00e9gkorong Akademia, and all-Romanian

\nRomania. In the wake of the two other games played in Budapest, the two clubs

\nRomanian team won, 2-1. The Hungarian player Peter Vincze drew
\nfirst blood for the host team, then Ferencv\u00e1ros’s British player Oliver
\nBetteridge levelled the score. The fate of the game was sealed by Finnish
\nplayer Matias Petteri Haaranen, who has been a Romanian citizen since the summer
\nof 2022. <\/p>\n
