The Polish
Super League is gearing up for another thrilling encounter as
Gorniczy Klub Sportowy Tychy takes on
KH GKS Katowice. Scheduled for April 3, 2025, this match promises to add another riveting chapter to their storied rivalry. With Tychy leading the head-to-head series 51-34, Katowice will be eager to close the gap. Both teams are coming off a series of mixed results, setting the stage for an unpredictable clash on the ice.
Roster Rundown
Gorniczy Klub Sportowy Tychy boasts a lineup that has consistently delivered results this season. Leading the charge is forward Piotr Tomaszewski, who has racked up an impressive 45 points, including 20 goals and 25 assists. His ability to find the back of the net is complemented by Jaroslaw Kowalski’s defensive prowess. Kowalski, with a plus/minus rating of +18, has been instrumental in shutting down the opposition’s top lines.
On the other hand,
KH GKS Katowice leans heavily on the offensive capabilities of Marek Nowak, who has recorded 48 points this season. His agility and knack for scoring make him a constant threat. Defenseman Adam Zielinski, with his 70 blocked shots, has been the backbone of Katowice's defense, often bailing out the team in clutch situations.
Notably absent for Tychy are forwards Lukasz Wolski and Michal Adamski, both sidelined due to injuries. Their absence might tilt the balance slightly in favor of Katowice, who will look to exploit this gap.
