Hazen is out through injury
If Jonathan Hazen was quickly able to keep the Jura team in the game (13th), this success did not allow Ajoie to reverse the course of the game. The HCC managed their match from start to finish and the score remained very long blocked at 2-1 in a meeting sometimes chopped by a lot of technical waste.
We were playing the 56th minute of the game when Daniel Carbis made the author of a load at the level of the shoulder on Jonathan Hazen. Touched, the best addition on the ice went out to the locker room before going to the hospital for medical examinations. Reduced to four for two minutes, the Chaux-de-Fonniers held firm against a Jura power play well disturbed by the loss of its centerpiece. And as often in ice hockey, it was Chaux-de-Fonnier Sondre Olden who could drive the point home by scoring 3-1 at four against five, against a Damiano Ciaccio not in his business.
The HCC will play its next match on Saturday at 8:00 p.m. at the Mélèzes ice rink. If the series is still long, he can be happy to have regained the advantage of the ice in this series. “We have to keep the emotions positive. It’s only one match, there are still three to win. But if we keep this pleasure, good things are possible. », adds Jaison Dubois. /lre
