The ice hockey players of GIJS HEPRO Groningen lost for the seventh time this season. Amsterdam Tiger was much too strong in the capital: 7-3.
Amsterdam took the lead early and had the game in hand after the first period. Then it was already 4-0. GIJS was unable to utilize the many power play minutes it received during that period. The home team received five penalties in a row, but GIJS did not score.
It works in the second period
After the first break, they succeeded with one more man: Zahir Hup made it 4-1 on a pass from Radovan Rusnak and Flynn Hayward Jones scored 4-2 after an assist from Hup, both in the power play.
In the final period, the team from Amsterdam ran out to 6-2 again, before GIJS could do something back. Note that GIJS made it 6-3 shorthanded. Björn de Haan scored on a pass from Danny Kerstholt. Alexander Karol then scored the 7-3 final score with his third goal of the evening.

Despite the defeat, GIJS is still eighth in the Premier League, with 10 points from as many matches. On Saturday afternoon, GIJS will visit the UNIS Flyers premier league team in Thialf.
