Dynamo Pardubice Head Coach Filip Pešán: “Polish teams appear regularly in the Champions Hockey League, which is a testament to their strength. Although we will go into the matches as favourites, we know that we must not underestimate anything and we must prepare well for the match. It will be an attractive confrontation.”

HC Pilsen Head Coach Josef Jandač: “The Polish champions. On paper, they may seem like a less high-profile opponent, but these are often the most dangerous games. They have CHL experience and are always a very tough team to play against on home ice.”

Adler Mannheim Head Coach Dallas Eakins: “A historic club and one of the biggest names in Polish hockey. Their recent success speaks for itself and you can feel the passion their supporters bring to every game. We know we’ll be facing a champion with a winning mentality.”
